Don't miss yesterday's post:
Spring Around the Homestead: Blooms and Flowers
Today I wanted to show you a few of our animals. Chickens are just fun and I ended up with a ton of pictures from them. We are up to about 30 or so chickens. While we do sell a few eggs here or there ( maybe $10-$15 worth a month) we mainly keep them for fun, for our own eggs and my kids show some of them at the fair.

| This is our frizzle rooster. He is so fuzzy! He is a bantam breed so super small. |
 |
| This girl is a bantam breed Golden Seabright. We have a pair of these girls. We used to have a rooster in this breed but he got so mean we had to give him away. |
 |
| These honestly are just the cutest! |
 |
| Not a great picture but this is a Golden Campine. We have a pair of these and the girls show them at the fair. |
 |
And we can't forget the goats. Clifford we've had for gosh probably 10 years- he's just like a puppy dog. The one in the front is Trail Mix and my oldest showed her last year. Now she is just a pet. If my kids decide to show this year we will need to be getting some new ones soon.

We do have 3 rabbits right now as well- they didn't make the photos somehow. How are things around your homestead? Any new babies? Expecting anything soon ?
What a splendid array of chickens, and the goats look like they want you to come and give them some attention. :) Wonderful for your family to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteClifford ( the older goat) is like a little puppy. He does follow us around when we are in the yard and wants us to scratch his head :) Thanks for stopping by.
