Randal helps carry some fresh branches to the goats. They love the tasty fresh oak branches.

Turkey-napping Monday!
27 July 2026
I managed to grab the other two turkey poults that were finally out and about. Here they are, chilling in a pot until I got their new living area set up in the chicken tractor.
We have another hen who is sitting on a clutch, hiding behind our A/C compressor. We will keep an eye on her, I expect they should be hatching any time now!
Light Brown mama hen is on patrol. She isn’t very happy with us at the moment, and will rush the kids if they get too close to her.
Garrett is all packed up and ready for one of his journeys!
Arya was at volleyball tryouts, so I dragged the littles to Scouts with me. Garrett and Randal had a great time in the play kitchen area. Evan was less than thrilled, but he got to play chess, so partial win for him.
Goats gonna goat. Baby goats hanging out in their play house because they can.

July 11 – 24 catch up!
How the time flies! I’ve been meaning to get this out for a while, so I made myself sit down and do it tonight rather than let it get further back.

Evan and Garrett had a great time building play forts and ‘having a sleep over’ in the living room.

Feelin’ Better!

This awful picture was the best I could do of a red crested woodpecker that was happily pecking away at the oak tree while Meagan and I were doing animal chores this morning. It is about 30x zoom, and since my arms were not in fact a tripod, it’s a bit shaky.
Busy Monday!

Baby goats playing with mama!
A busy day today, Swim practice in the morning, music lessons in the afternoon, and Scouts in the evening, with plenty in between!
Turkey poult and clean up Sunday!
7 June 2026
Our Sunday morning (really Saturday night) started with with a cheep! A random turkey egg that we found stashed among our animal things hatched, and hatched much earlier than we were expecting.
The last two poults that we had managed to sneak out of their containment, so we are going to have to come up with another solution for this poult.
Easy Saturday & Swim Meet

I moved the chickens on top of the leaf pile I had gathered after clearing the lawn from the winter leaves. There was a plethora of bugs and crawly things that the chickens really enjoyed snacking on.
