Our neighbors asked us to help out with their animals for the week and we were excited and happy to help. By animals I mean not only the standard family dog and cat, but goats, chickens and a horse! The first night was total chaos - I had no idea of what I was doing and the animals were not quite sure who I was. Luckily I had Ryan with me who knew what to do and was a huge help this week. After that first night we came up with a plan and were able to feed everyone without the chaos.
By the end of the week even Adeline was feeling brave and not afraid of the chickens anymore. She collected all the eggs herself tonight all while dressed as a pirate princess. It must of been the eye patch that made her feel so brave!
Ryan has loved chickens since he was 5 years old and one day we will get our own chickens!! I am hoping this year will be our year.
He even volunteered to shovel out the chicken coop!
He was great help with the buck, leaping over the fence to give him his food. He was so at ease with the animals !
Ahh the goats - 6 does that needed to be fed in groups of 3. That was part of the chaos trying to get the right goats out of the pen to feed them . WE eventually got that right too : )
Blondie and Adeline hit it off
Very fun -- but now I realize that our house just needs a few chickens, a garden, and some bees.
