CROOKED CREEK FARM

Kidding has ended here at Crooked Creek Farm until April. We now have 30 kids flying around the barn and are happy that we can get a little rest before the next batch. Thanks to our friends it was relatively easy this year. Brian Read, his mother Dottie and Alvin Peabody all pitched in to help us. We are sad to say that we lost a very nice doe who delivered quads,(all bucks,) two of which we are bottle feeding along with a couple of triplets. FUN, FUN !!  

Lola, a little doe out of Bridget has become a favorite already. Personality +, to darn smart and a pain in the butt..  Lets face it. WE are having FUN!!

 It was -9 below zero this morning at 6am. I still am amazed at how tough these Boer kids are. When we went out to feed it was business as usual. Even our young chicks did real well. One more bad night coming up tonight, after which the weatherman said we would be returning to seasonal temperatures. I am wishing for some warm weather so that I can start hatching eggs from our Braggs Mountain Buff hens. We managed to hatch 10 this winter and they are in the barn already. The new pullets should start laying in August.
