NIGEL:
We now have 2 Boer goats. We bought Matilda (older brown) & Daisy (5 mths mostly white) last Wednesday. (See photos) They were initially very high maintenance as they wanted to be next to me at all times (they were obviously spoiled by their previous family). Otherwise they would bleat pathetically. So as I added the barbed wire, they would be sure to stay nearby/underneath my feet. With several days of being ignored, they have settled down a lot!
The chickens & goats ignored each other, unless accidentally cornered. Panic would strike until either made an escape was made. The goats were more curious than scared.... but the chickens were curious until they felt cornered.
Had to limit their area b/c they enjoyed our trees too much, despite all of the lovely long grass & weeds??? I will need to build a sturdier gate so we can access them more readily. The adventure begins!!!
love the new kids!
ReplyDeleteYeah they are fun... a little needy though!!
