THEIF!

There is something eating our chickens! We had one hen go missing and then yesterday morning my poor brother found another one disassembled around the chicken yard. It's been hard for all three of my siblings because the chickens are dear pets for them.
We've moved the rest to a different spot closer to the house hoping the predator will be discouraged from coming for more. I hope what ever it is decides to move! We took pictures of all the tracks we found in the chicken run, (and if we had a computer I'd post them) but we're not sure what kind of animal it is. Hope everyone else on our street isn't having chicken problems!

It's Cold

Well, it's the new year and there are many things to do here on the farm. We need to put all the goats in their 'rightful' pens, but we haven't gotten up the courage to do it yet with how cold it is. At least it's 28 degrees outside today. We'll probably end up doing it sometime this weekend.
I am SO excited for kidding season. Baby animals are always SO cute!!!
If anyone is interested we have a Nubian buck for sale still. I haven't been quite on the ball with selling him. Hope everyone stays warm!
