Crazy Spring Days...

Well, the doe in question (Starsign) decided that she was going to wait til today to have a baby. I've spent the afternoon outside being midwife and have to say...

IT'S A GIRL! *passes out chocolate cigars to the populace*

Her name is Elanor but we're calling her Ellie for the moment. She's a white baby with smudged eyes. Her face and build are somewhat boer but she does seem a bit more "dairy" to me. We'll put out pictures shortly. (I took some but not good ones and she was still a bit damp.) She is not as dainty as big sister Luna but she is still adorable.

We did loose one of the banty chicks. :( Did everything I could but nope, it passed away on Sunday morning.

THEN Dad brought home two more animals for our menagerie (Mom says we're stocking the ark) and we're going into rabbit raising for meats. We have two white baby rabbits, named Westley and Buttercup. They are quite sweet (and we can name the primary breeding pair that is the rule!).

We'll be getting ten more chicks this week from Snoozin Goose Ranch and should be done. At least til the 8th when the herd queen is due and will be demanding the royal treatment. :)
