Rooster Wars Vocally

The roosters cannot be in the same area. The Turken rooster and Craig will have vocal wars. One will crow and then the other will crow. This will go on for a really long time. Long enough I end up blocking it out and that is one of my favorite sounds. It is funny when it starts. The Turken rooster is so much bigger than Craig, so the Turken rooster is going to have to stay in the coop. I am working on a way to make the coop larger for them. 

Just Don’t Know What You are Doing

Prada is sure trying this whole mom thing. Some days I think she just does not know what she is doing and then she surprises me. I cannot say that I could do much better, but so far, Prada is doing a good job. It started off a little rocky; Prada did not know about nursing and then she did not want to be near Louie. Now if she cannot see him, she calls out to make sure he calls back. Everything has a learning curve to it, including motherhood. She is getting the hang of it now. 

Always At Least One

There is always at least one that gets left behind or one that is rebellious or something. I knew I was missing one of the hens, but I found her up on the roost. She did end up outside the coop door the next morning and she was let into the coop. They were all so happy to be together.  I am glad they love each other. 

Caught Them

It did take a while to catch most of the turkens. I got 5 of the 6 hens and the rooster in the coop. It has been a little bit of a rodeo and the heat does not help anything. The ones I have gotten back in the coop seem relieved to be back together. I guess all of them are bonded. I am glad we did not split them up. 

Ronnie and I took all they had. The next morning, the one I had not caught was standing out of the coop door waiting to get in with the rest of them. I got these guys for Tina, she wants nothing to do with them. I will love them anyway. 

Donkeys and Green Grass

The donkeys and goats are loving the green grass. We have had some rain and with rain comes green grass. They do love to run around on all those acres and eat up that green grass. I am so grateful they have so much to roam on. They may not need all of it, but I know they like it. Those donkeys are sure lucky to be here and I bet they know it. 

Love love Love

That Louie is the most fun. I really had no idea how much fun goats were. It took a day or two for Louie to be able to be up on his feet good. He would then get some milk and then pass out. He is so little. He is starting to bounce around. Louie is also starting to get into the tire in the pen. He is learning things a little at a time. He is so cute. I am just in love with that little goat. He even knows my voice already. That is amazing. I know they grow fast. I am going to enjoy this. Tina Turken is usually not far behind Louie and Prada. The cutest little trio. 

Exiled

We did leave the turkens out of the coop for a bit, I decided to exile them back to the coop. I did not want to do that, but Craig and the new rooster would not get along. It did not take long for them to find each other and want to fight. I separated them and they found each other again, so I just decided to put the Turken rooster in the coop with a couple of the hens. We will see.
