Look at my “impulse” buy today.. I went to the feed store for feed of course and left with these ladies:) I’ve been working on my chicken pen relentlessly in my spare time and I’m almost done with it. Tomorrow I’ve got to run a border on the bottom amd move the brooder house in and then my First Ladies can move in:)... My son picked out the Wyandotte and the Rhode island red. The Wyandotte, he named Black Shadow and he’s still waffling on the Red lady.. The two buff Orpingtons were my pick and their names are Diaz and Witherspoon:) View attachment 320398View attachment 320399
Love the orpingtons! They are all so cute! My buddy that admits he is a redneck has an old stake side trailer - like 40' from a tractor trailer that he uses for his chicken coop, He has a real mini farm going on!

Oh I love your goats!! I would like a little girl goat. I can confirm your explanation of the male goats...Here’s my big nasty man goat.... Barney. Yes pee’s everything, poops everything, rams everything, eats everything, and never shuts up. He’s going on 13 yrs old. Oh and he also rubs his horns on anything to make noise at least every 2 hrs.


We attempted to make him a tad more safe with pool noodles. This lasted maybe 10 mins
And here he is before and after when he opened the shed and ate a whole bucket of soaked beet pulp


The pool noodles cracked me up, but it makes total sense. I literally just walked in the other room and told my wife she was right we should just pay a stud fee if we decide to try to breed them. ? Love the horse, I used to ride one very similar. He is retired from riding now living the good life in one of the pastures.

Love hearing that! We will have pastures one day!! Not here in this desert hell hole... ? anyways, thats my sisters horse Moose. He is a 5 yr old mustang from the Hines Oregon area, the South Steens mountains I believe. We got him and an older mustang in 2018. The older mustang was 8 when we got him and was gelded at 8 by the BLM peeps. So he was untouched by humans until then. He is the smartest horse I’ve encountered. It’s funny when you compare him to my domestics....this is Tank

One of my Pygmy (back when I had goats and did not have a husband) bloated so badly that he couldn’t stand up. I think I possibly saved his life with a natural kids laxative remedy..

and I was never sure if all that stinky spray going on was all pee.. the males were nasty!!

Ha ha! What are the odds!
yes tank is very pretty. Should see his big a** do his random sprints in the yard... not quite the zoomies but random sprints with purpose....
I like watching those two humps fight for territory... if you remember Wheezer off of Steel Magnolias, I think she termed it perfectly... “Like two pigs fighting in a blanket”... I love A big horse!
