In the stream

After a little bit of landscaping and a whoooole lot of bribery (mealworms), the ducks finally went into the stream. Now we may never get them out again. 🙂

A few more cute baby shots by @mrbgroff 💕

This little girl made quite the entrance today, along with her sister and brother! I don't think I have the energy to type up all the details, but suffice it to say that the first doeling was breech and trying to come out at the same time as her sister. I had to "go in" as the goat folks say, push the second one back and rearrange the first one to deliver her back legs first. The second doeling popped right out on her own, but then the big buckling tried to come out ears & top/back of head first, and had to be repositioned as well. So thankful that everyone seems to be doing well, although we're all pretty exhausted. Hugely grateful to my wonderful goat mentor @ladybiker_07 who is so generous with her time and advice, and to @mrbgroff who hoisted up a goat rear end to help make it all possible. 😆 PHEW!

Sweet Molly is at day 149 today, and her ligaments are totally gone. She's stuck to me like glue whenever I go check on her. Nothing actively happening yet, but I'll hope to have baby goat pictures to share very very soon! 💕

Nobody tells you that if you get goats your gallery will be nothing but goat butts all spring

That's definitely not a goat
