Culprit

I finally found out one of the hens laying eggs in the feed sacks. Meridia is the one laying eggs in the feed sacks. I guess she can see everything around her while she is laying an egg, and she does fine that way. Usually, she would lay eggs in the crate, but I guess a different hen is doing that now, so she moved to a different spot. I guess whatever works. 

The Goats plus Bill

The goats and Bill are doing well. Feeding time is pure chaos, but they seem to make it work. The goats and Bill act like the pigs with moving from bowl to bowl and all over the place. It is funny to watch them going back and forth and all over the place. It does seem like they are getting along just fine though, so that is a good thing. I am happy they are getting along. That is what is important to me. 

Smart Mattie

Mattie is a mess. He had learned to open and close one of the gate Ronnie and I go through often. We had started locking the gate so he could not get in there. Well, he is too smart for his own good. Ronnie and I were in the breezeway talking and Mattie stuck his head through that gate wondering what we were doing. I guess we will be locking the gate again. He is just so smart. 

Halo

I have never seen a full one, but sometimes the sun will have a halo effect around it. I was out in the pasture and for some reason was having a bad day. I looked up and saw part of a halo around the sun. There were small rainbows around the sun. It was such a beautiful sight to see. I have seen several partial halos. Maybe one day I will see a full one in person. 

Adjustment

The adjustment period did not last as long as I thought it would. It does seem to me that the goats are settling in just fine. I even saw the girls laying down which means they are starting to relax. They still have their moments of fighting with Bill. Cinderella was trying to head butt Bill through the gates, which was a funny sight. They are acting like things are going to be fine, so I am going to leave them alone and let them stay in there with Bill. It is fun to watch right now. 

New Place

I saw Raven up high on a roost in the shop one morning. As I looked closer, I saw some eggs up there, too. I just thought, well, that has not happened in a while. I do not know who laid those eggs, but it sure does crack me up to see where the eggs get laid. This world with all of these animals is just like waking up to something new every day. I guess they do not know I am not good with new things, but I do it for them. 

Tinkerbelle and Chickens

The chickens have always been around Tinkerbelle and Cinderella, so they all know each other. Tinkerbelle and Bill have been picking up the slack since Ted is gone with the chickens getting on their backs to fly up to the roost. It did do my heart some good to see that the chickens are still going to have their way of getting on the roost. I am hoping all of this works out and the goats will be fine in there with Bill.
