Yak Yak Yakkity

Isn't he just adorable?? What you're looking at is our new baby Yak! He's about 2 weeks old, and we named him Djimon. We brought him him by car in a 5 hour drive, and he did pretty well, considering his life before that was with no human contact what so ever, and he mainly just frolicked around green pastures with his yak herd among many Watusi cattle. ( Old African breed with enormous, thick horns )

Once more yaks are born, we'll be snatching them up as well, and with a few more girls added, that will conclude our breeding group. From there, the young will be used for meat and the breeding herd will be used for their wool and milk. Yaks are so useful!



Aside from that, here's some more chick progress. We've only had our BC Marans for 3 days, and they're already growing wing feathers now! This one here is the smallest, lightest one - Most likely a girl.



And this here is another blue Ameraucana, the muffless and beardless one. She's also growing quite a bit. I wanted to take photos of my prize black cockerel, but he's getting so tame and smart now that he flies off the shelf before I even get photos! If I try and grab him before he does, he just crawls out of my grasp and perches on my hand. He's such a brave boy!
