May 2011

Early on the morning of may 4th, Phoebe gave birth two two girls, Flicker and Wren.  That sure was exciting!  Our first goats born on the farm.  We even posted a video to Youtube about it here.

We purchased a soil block maker and started making our own soil blocks to start seedlings in the greenhouse.  And the planting beds below gave us salads nearly every day.

Linc continued work on the new goat pasture fence, using a come-a-long and the truck to stretch out the 400+ long fence, hoping something wouldn’t go “twang!” followed by a fence post sailing by.

Meanwhile, Phoebe and her new kids enjoyed the spring weather in front of the barn.

The kids take frequent naps, curled up around each other in the strangest spots.

The 25 chicks that Jeanne ordered arrived, and get brooded inside the greenhouse under our homemade brooder with 12 volt lamp to keep them warm.

Things are turning green around here.  It’s really starting to look like spring!
