Christian and Alfie builing the goat house! We've just recieved 2 goats, its been very exciting and alot of work!
Testing the goat house..
The goats arrived 2 weeks ago and have only just been allowed into their part of the field. Our first attempt at fencing them in was unsuccessful, and the next one and the next one!
I just managed to take this photo and they were off, luckliy we had christian's dad to help round them in! They just ran out of the electric fence and didn't seem to be bothered by it all, so we changed it for another one, which also didn't bother them. They have had a very small area this past week which was fenced off with planks. However this also had to be adjusted as they climbed and squeezed out of that! Real escape artists, anyway they seem settled now in a fence with chicken wire and planks, no electricity either : )
They're very friendly and seem to be enjoying their new surroundings, when I find the camera I'll take some photos of their new pen. We've also got 9 new chickens, the old chicken's haven't been laying very many eggs so C's dad came with some rescued battery farm chickens. They stay out late and don't even like to sleep on the perch with the other chickens. They're very curious, I found one in the hallway this afternoon!
