Angel discovered her voice last night and that she likes the sound of it. :)
Some neighboring labrador retrievers paid a visit and she went crazy barking.
They left and she barked and barked and barked.

She is 24-7 with the goats and chickens now. We kept her in an adjacent pen for a while, and gave her visits, and then for whole days at a time.

So far, we haven't lost either of the two geriatric hens I have (knock on wood) May have discovered a technique.

Since I only have the two hens I haven't built a coop and they don't have a roost. They just stay in the doorway going into the goat barn. When it gets dark of course they can't see a thing. I noticed that Angel would go over and sniff them and sniffle them and eat poop out from under them. Well of course they can't see so they don't run. Seems to have satisfied her curiosity about them, and they have in turn gotten use to her being very close to them.

Oh well, I guess we will see.

going to definitely have a much bigger dog food bill, and vet bills.
but we went to a much larger space and SBC was correct, we don't have any protection for the bucks.
and with Mikey being bit by the snake, if something were to happen to him now while angel is so young... would have no protection.
we had a big coyote who regularly passed through the field behind our old place, but our animals were kept fairly close to our house. we can acutally here them howling where we are at now, and my neighbor behind me says there is a very large track of land behind her that is literally full of coyotes. She cuts a field at the back of her place and keeps a .243 bolt action holstered on her tractor. My kind of lady :thumbsup
