Fall Update 2025

It has really started to feel like fall here in northeast OK. Most of our trees are either changing color or have lost their leaves, and the weather has been mostly in the 60's during the day.

Goats

We have now stopped moving the goats in the pasture, they will mostly be staying in their barnyard pen for the rest of the winter, but we will be moving them on the rye we are growing once it gets tall enough. We have also stopped milking for the winter. The milking will resume in the spring, we will let our subscribers know when that starts again.

Blaise has been put in with the females so we should be having bottle kids available in April and weaned kids in late May-June.

We also just recently purchased two new goats from Black Hoof Farm, Melody and Fiona. They also should be having kids around the same time as our other goats.

Ducks

The Ducks have started laying again, they had stopped for some unknow reason earlier in the summer. The duckling we hatched turned out to be a male as we were hoping and has been put in the pen with the females. Because of the bobcat attacks we only have six female ducks left from our original twenty or so.

Chickens

Although the ducks are now laying the chickens have gone way down in the number of eggs they are giving. A few days ago, we only got seven eggs out of fifty chickens.

We are still moving the chickens in their tractors, although the grass is not growing anymore, so it is getting hard to find places to move them around.

Pets

We are going to be adding a new pack member in the beginning of December! She is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She is only four weeks old right now, we will be getting her on December 11th, when she is seven weeks old.

The flea problem we were having with the dogs has gone almost completely away.

The guinea pigs are still being moved on grass in their tractor, but pretty soon they will have to be kept in the garage because it will get too cold for them to stay outside.
