This weekend in pictures

Some of our summer bounty: spaghetti squash, broccoli and lots of eggs! We are getting nearly 5 dozen a day now!! 

Here are our sheep: Viola, Lily, Puck and Helena (L to R) They are 2 cormos, Border Leicester X Blue Faced Leicester, and Blue Face Leicester...again Left to Right. 

Here are our 2 new BFL ewe lambs! We got them today and them immediately got to work eating. They will be by themselves until next week and then we will integrate them with the sheep.  We are also going to try (again) getting all the sheep and goat girls together for the winter.  Hopefully we can do it this time. 

Here are the young guineas. They travel in a pack and make lots of noise to fend off predators and other fowl.

We are again having way too many little brown birds and crows in the chicken house. We put up mylar party stuff to ward off entry of the wild birds.  This works somewhat but today when I went down to collect eggs there were over a dozen LBB's in there eating the chicken food.

 Here are our beautiful bucks! They are so ready to go "a-courting". Just wait boys....you will be meeting your girls in a couple of weeks!

Finally, here is our most mature rooster. He is very elegant. He holds himself with pride. He watches out for his girls. Most importantly, he has his area and Floyd (the ugliest rooster alive) keeps to his area...no crossover, no cock fights.  They call to each other starting about 4am....very peaceful!
