Just Daisy getting in the burn pit to get better access to eating decorative plants ðŸŠī Terrorist.

No goat or plants harmed here - crepe myrtle are perfectly safe for goats, and goats (nor the wrath of God) can harm crepe myrtles. Seriously, just you try to remove an established one.

It won't make him any better at his job, but at least Greg is beautiful and fluffy now 😍 Thanks

Greg (aka Thor, but this boy is too goofy and sweet for such a name) is a LGD or Livestock Guardian Dog. No one informed him of this though, and though he absolutely will never harm a soul and even tiny baby chicks are safe with him, predators also are really of no interest to him either. Our big pacifist is mostly good for looks, and we hope as he ages he gets a smidgen more protective ðŸĪĢ

Greg was a rescue dog who came to my husband covered in fleas and skinny as a rail as a pup, chained outside and dying. Though as adults LGD's are truly happiest having a job outside and NOT good as just pets despite their calm appearance, LGD puppies are still babies and need to be raised in warmth and safety ðŸĨē

Our boy also is very likely mixed with Golden as he is too small for a standard male Great Pyrenees. Which makes him still naughty, smart, and stubborn, but also the lack of guarding instinct is notable ðŸŦĢ

We love him anyways, and, so does Daizelbub

When baby birds hatch, they are exhausted, wet, and still getting nutrients from the egg sac. That is why it is not only fine, but important to leave them in the incubator until they are dry and active. Opening the incubator will also let in dryer air, which is a problem if more babies are about to hatch. Humidity keeps babies able to get out of their shell easily and for the inner egg shell membrane to remain pliable for them to break through

Cela guessed Ewok, and we would like to say she wins this round. We thought this baby was a duck, but honestly, we were mistaken 😂😂😂

This little baby is a full bred Rouen from our flock. We love these lines because our male is exceptionally gentle and kind - he can even be around the chickens and does not mess with them. Ducks often can not be kept with chickens, for biological reasons 🍆🙀 But out boy values consent and keeping it in his species. Male ducks will mortally injure chickens they mate with! But our boy is excellent. Our girls are great layers. We want to pass those genes on!!! This is how you create food sustainability on an ethical farming

Can you guess what kind of baby is hiding here?

I have heard many times after getting this breed that Leghorns are some of small homesteaders least favorite chooks. Let me give my bid for the breed. Much like high energy dogs can be difficult and more commonly rehomed, high energy chickens tend to get a similarly bad rap. Leghorns aren't suitable for most flocks, because most flocks aren't free range. But most chickens best suited to a coop arent a great fit to free range. Let me explain.

Free range birds face a myriad of dangers that properly cooped hens and roos avoid. Free range birds roam around, actively in an unpredictable and variable environment with inherent risk. We free range because we are often home, have dogs that alert us to danger, and believe in using natural pest control: our birds. This allows us to avoid using harsh pesticides while offering natural and healthy fare for our egg layers.

Calmer chicken breeds are not going to scurry away as quickly when danger does appear. Yes, we try to patrol for predators, but predators do happen. They are part of living with nature, but we also want birds who have the best shot at a long, healthy, happy life. You'll notice our silkies are NOT free range. These chooks get breakfast in bed, because they weren't made for life on the range. And, they're perfectly happy where they are at!

We do sell leghorns, sure, but will always advise with new chicken owners to research what will be happy in the setup you provide. If you want free range birds to eat the lone star ticks in the south, these are your girls. If you want docile birds who are happy in a lower activity setting, these ladies will quickly revert to their raptor roots and chip away at the fabric of your sanity 😉 ðŸĶ–

We are devastated to share that Daisy lost her twins ðŸ˜Ē They were born still because the first was aligned so poorly that it took too long to rearrange the little guy for birth, and that likely caused the second not to make it too. It was even sadder as they looked just like the sire and her. It took a few days to make this update as I needed time to process.

I am deeply grateful Daisy is okay, and she is healing beautifully. We fed her back her colostrum and one of two milkings she is getting back to boost her health as she heals.

We are also grateful that our little goat is so loving and happy to stand for milking as this is both my and my husband's first time milking an animal. I did milk our pig, but that's a whole other story.

Send good thoughts for Daisy's post birth healing, but she is doing very well with no sign of infection and rapid reduction of swelling.

Send all the good vibes for a healthy mom and babies!!! I will be sitting here ready to assist as necessary and we can't wait to meet the little ones. Our sire, Toto, was an absolute love and passed away so this is truly SO special. We were just discussing adding more goats as land clearing here is a priority and goats milk is both ethical and nutritious. Apparently Daisy goat is answering the call to action 🎎

Ducks are your farms best defense against mosquitoes - hands down. They are tenacious foragers, capable of eating //thousands// of mosquito larvae a day, each. Reducing mosquitoes reduces the spread of heartworms to pets and wildlife alike, reducing over all prevalence.

For direct heartworm prevention in dogs, prophylactic ivermectin is used usually in a chewable tablet form. Heartworms are deadly and a slow, painful killer so prevention is key. DM us if you have questions about preventing this disease, especially on a budget. We are not here to replace veterinary care, but we are here to help alongside it and for those in a tight spot who can't afford it
