Well, anyone who is close to us knows that we've had goats since last April. We weren't exactly ready for them yet...no house, no fence, no hay. But Kevin convinced me that it would be okay to keep them with the chickens for a short time. Well that's just been a big mess. They poop and pee everywhere and are always jumping up on the fence around our coop which certainly was not meant to have goats leaning and pushing up on it. It had gotten so bad out in the coop that we just stopped going in there period. So for the first time in over a year, I had to start buying eggs from the store. We were just saying that we were suprised that none of the eggs have hatched out yet when last Tuesday, we found 10 baby chicks running around! To make things even better, our fence guy finally came out and installed the fence out across the pond (which Kevin has been working on endlessly for months to get ready for this). So Saturday was the move in day for the goats (one of the best days of my life). I had to get a picture of Kevin standing next to the fence that we, and Patrick, did...all by ourselves! We were quite proud of it along with the building that Kevin and Dad built over the summer. Then I got the chicken coop all cleaned out and we are back in the egg business!
