Confused Geese

One of my goosey girls seems to be confused.  It’s too early to be laying eggs.

Obviously.  It was frozen by the time I found it.  I’m hoping things will calm down a bit and let me at least go out with my camera at some point.

Nothing But Chores

This time of year on the acreage means I’m not doing a lot of farm things other than chores.

I’m glad to say that Gabe and the two little boys get along.  They also all make me laugh–the boys with their antics and Gabe with his heat lamp.

He is so silly.

That’s enough to keep me on my toes in this weather.

Surviving

It’s hard to do much when it’s as cold as we’ve been.  I certainly haven’t taken my camera out. I’m mostly just doing chores.

As soon as they see me, they come running to get fed

Everyone comes for the grain.

Although, sometimes, the geese get stepped on.  I do try to find them a place where they will be safe.

You know who is the actual meanest to the geese–not accidentally stepping on them?  Shelby.  She’s gotten really brazen about pushing the geese out of the way.

Anyhow, after we’re done with grain.  I make sure they all have hay.  With it this cold, I’m putting most of it in the barn.

Popcorn is pretty wimpy about standing up for his pile of hay.  I will put him a bit outside where it’s sheltered from the wind.

I just do chores and keep checking on everyone.
