We picked up Nick and Molly from the breeder this morning.They are getting used to their new digs, and I'm getting used to the fact that I'll be getting up in the middle of the night to give them their every 4 hour feeding!

Here's some pics of Nick and Molly right after they were born, and coming home!

Here's the feeding area, showing the salt lick, feed dish and hay feeder.The hay feeder pulls out on tracks from under the roof to fill! (Sparrow built it in his workshop)

Here's the goat's automatic waterer, it's just hooked up with a garden hose.

 

Entrance to the Shelter

 

Here's the entrance to their goat house. It's a cozy size for them to stay out of the rain.

 

 

Sign that says,"Nick and Molly"

 

Of course their names are on the fence! Sparrow likes making these signs.

Climbing Mommy

 

Nick and Molly have settled in to their new home and are seen here climbing all over their mommy (Like most kids do!)

Video of their first steps in the Movies area!

 

 

In 2015 we lost poor Molly to cancer. We had lost Nick in 2012 due to a genetic problem he had. After Molly's death, we got two new goats, whos names are Rose and Violet. We hope you enjoy watching them live!
