We have 4 pygmy goats with one fixing to have some kids. I don't know when but she looks like she is about to bust. Hopefully in the next month or so I will be getting about 20 Spanish goats for our place. Yours are beautiful. I love goats. We have 4 pygmy goats with one fixing to have some kids.

I like leaving horns on. They're not always convenient but they are useful. The goats look great. I like leaving horns on. They’re not always convenient but they are useful.

There are two big fields, about 10 acres each, and the market garden is 2.5 acres floating in one of those. Then there's a lot of woods, another 30 acres or so, and then the area around the house and barn. I explained about the goats (and cows, and donkey) in <a href="http://tinyfarmblog.com/" rel="nofollow">The hay around us</a>... I read some of your blog. I love being able to see everyone's gardens getting started all over the place, all on slightly different schedules! You may be interested in this interview, about small farming and heading (back) to the country, I just read it a couple of days and I'm still in that enthusiastic tell-everybody-about-it mode: <a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/Modern-Homesteading/1973-03-01/The-Plowboy-Interview-Wendell-Berry.aspx" rel="nofollow">the plowboy interview: Wendell Berry</a>. :) <b>P~:</b> I don't know how I'll react when regulations threaten to directly encroach on something I"m already doing, or want to do that seems reasonable. So far, there have been no head-on collisions, but I wonder how five years of tiny farming may have changed me...and something like that might let me find out. I wish you and your chickens well!! ruralapsirations: Well, the farm is about 55 acres, so there’s a bit of space.

I always get that way right about now. Add to that the fact that we're harboring "fugitive" chickens in our house pending our city counsels approval of an ordinance modification to allow us to keep them. Sort of a gamble but I feel confident that it will pass. Maybe after we get this passed, I'll start working on goats:) P~ I can definitely relate to being a little edgy for the start of spring.
