Chicks are doing good this morning. The 2 mama hens have sorted out whose chicks are whose and the 2 small flocks seem to be getting along fine.

Our small horse seems to really enjoy having baby goats climb on his back: he makes the same face as when you give him good back scritches, and he kept standing in the same spot by the ledge that goats could use to climb onto his back, even though he could have easily walked away. Silly horse (but sillier goats)

@sundogplanets Hmmm, they will be scratching for sure . I remember very sharp hoofs on a baby goat I once had on my lap!

People pay good money to have goats walk on them. Horse is getting a deal.

@sundogplanets It’s like a back massage.

@sundogplanets we had a donkey at one point that shared a large shaded yard area with our goats. He would let a pygmy goat ride around on his back and she would use the opportunity to leap off when he got near a low point in the fence, so she could feast in my vegetable garden, if the gate was open. She was a good mother (and gave us a surprising amount of milk) but I always had to be on guard with my garden around her.

@sundogplanets yeah, goats are a smart, PITA animal. Told my wife, never again. If we get any in the future, it will be entirely to give them two very good weeks before they *ahem* migrate to the freezer.

@sundogplanets Nice try. But there's still room for improvement.

No, seriously: that's very beautiful. Greetings from the land of the Brothers Grimm. 😍
