Spring has certainly sprung!!

First, there's the KIDS!! Yes, our LaMancha goat, Jugs, finally birthed a pair of twin kids!! One is a girl - A beautiful black, red, and white; Another is a boy - a very neat ashy dun brown with white splashing. I'm so proud of Jugs though - She birthed them so fast and with such perfection, all on her first timer!










Next, there's the Tolbunt Polish eggs! A while ago, I paid nearly $200 for a dozen Tolbunt variety Crested Polish hatching eggs. I set them just 6 days ago, and now have exactly 50% fertility, which for Tolbunts is great! Here's some candling photos:





And last, there's the farm in general. Here's some beautiful peach blossoms:



Here's Paintball, our second LaMancha doe, due to possibly have a kid in June.



And finally a BLUE egg to show off. This one is what one of my Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas hatched from.



Then, there's the Araucanas and Marans with a couple Ameraucanas, enjoying the latter day's sun. Today was beautiful, with constant showers and lovely, warm sun in between each one.

(pics coming soon)

  1. Tolbunts are gorgeous birds, though I have only seen pictures. I hope you get what you paid for.
