BABY ANIMALS!

Good morning, readers! Spring has come to the farm and I have woefully neglected to tell you about some very important happenings. First and foremost has been the presence of baby animals galore. Mainly, we've had 39 goat kids and 22 lambs! We also have an incubator and have hatched baby chicks and baby ducklings. There were plans/hopes for piglets and rabbit kits, but so far we've seen nothing. I know way back when I promised baby animals all over this blog, and now you can finally have some!

Baby goats! (For those who know her, these are Artemis's babies, one boy and one girl.)

These are Ruth's floppy eared darlings.

And here's Beena's mama and new sister.

Dwarf goats! They're already little when they're full grown, so their babies are tiny!

Allow Liz to demonstrate their cuddliness.

Here are Vanilla's babies right after they were born. She had them the morning after the Superbowl (I know; I'm incredibly behind) so their names are Drew and Peyton. Peyton's still a little goopy; sorry if you're squeamish.

And Ruby, a Boer goat, JUST finally had her triplets the other day. We'd been waiting on her for ages.

We also have some adorable lambs! These three are about half an hour old in this picture.

The Jacobs sheep have babies that look like miniature cows.

One of them, however, wasn't too interested in her daughter so this totally lovable little bundle of wool is our one and only bottle baby. Her name is Dexter and she's just as sweet as can be. We fight over who gets to feed her. Sam won this round.

My mama was here and got to hang out with the babies.

Kate and Sophie, the girls I used to take care of, came to visit, too! Kate liked the sheep.

And Sophie was more partial to the goats.

And, finally, ducklings!

Stand by for possible piglets.
