A friend gave the Vaughns a something like four months worth of hay for Daisy.

  

Daisy's getting a lot closer to grown.

I don't remember that many goats last time I visited.

  

We think the white goat is pregnant. Tonia said she'll be processed if she doesn't give birth in the next few months.

The chicken flock is doing well.

  

I think this pen is death row. Guys in there are just waiting to be processed. It's safe from other predators.

  

This pen is for the juveniles. Young chickens are kept in it until the are big enough to fend for themselves in the big coop.

  

Grace still has a rabbit business. She breeds them for easter and (???, one other holiday).

     

A connection from the feed store wangled them a new chicken run. As soon as Bryant gets around to assembling it, the current chicken coop is going to be repurposed as a garden. The chickens have been dumping chickenshit on it for so long that the soil MUST be better than it was.

  

All that green is in places where the juvenile pen used to be. Soil that hasn't had the benefits of animal enrichment is brown and unproductive looking.

Those sandy mounds are ant hills. Tonia has had ants eat eggs and kill newborn chicks. She doesn't like them, but getting rid of them is a lot of trouble, and how to do it without poison?
