March Madness

We started lambing a week early, the last week of February, and finished up around mid March.  All lambs are doing well and over half of the ewes had twins.  This was all of the ewe's second lambing.  Cheesecake, our biggest pet goat, finally had a set of twins.  This was her first kidding and we never thought she would have them.  My egg hatch was not that great of a success.  I only  had 8 chicks survive out of 28 incubated, better than nothing right.

Some of the lambs.

Finally got Ashley to work.

The great 8.

Cheesecake with her babies.  They're four days old here.  The white one is a girl and we're keeping her.

Here's our other pet goat Olive and her baby Coco, who we are keeping.

Alex's friend, Nathan, came over and helped out a couple weekends ago.  We cleaned out the barn and a waste hay pile from the winter.  It took us two days but we had fun and I was impressed that my kids actually worked hard.
