Woolfie has officially bonded with me. Today she followed me throughout my entire chore routine! Previously she’d follow me out of her shed, then she’d race back to it, crying, and I would have to go back to her since calling her wouldn’t work.
Poor baby.
Now she’s confident enough with me to follow me anywhere, frolicking around me and trying to trip me
She’s stolen my heart, the little monster
I’ve been working on Woolfie’s training - such as it is...picking up her feet, teaching her to lead. I suppose I should get her a halter rather than using a collar, but I’m so used to goaties that it’s difficult to change my ways
I suppose I’ll just see how things go and change as needed.

Well, our plans to pick up a couple of rams may have fallen through due to an unresponsive seller. I hate that 
My supplier of silver Appleyard hatching eggs got some of his Appleyard eggs mixed up with his Rouen, so I only have one Appleyard so far of the three hatchlings. The rest are Rouens...
Oh well. At least I’ve got one so far
I got a message from the lady I got Woolfie from. She had another bottle lamb ewe that she needed to rehome since she was being picked on by her other babies. Like I could say no Picked her up last night. She’s a Romanov cross, five weeks old, and she’s very different from Woolfie...not necessarily in a good way, but we’ll see. They’re getting along and she’s following me around like a champ, so 
it works out alright.
Here’s Foxy (not sure I’ll keep that spelling) She’s very fine-boned with longer wool and is a little skittish, showing the white of her eyes a lot. She’s also more vocal than Woolfie, but her voice isn’t as high pitched, so it’s alright.
Playing together
Jealous much? Lol
In other news, my hopefully predator-proof pens have had their first real test - two dogs showed up yesterday evening and I didn’t spot them until they were snooping around near the house when I was doing dishes and noticed them through the window. (I can’t wait until I get my geese! I need an alarm system now that I don’t have an outdoor dog!)
I chased them off and checked on everybody. All good. The turkeys had a few feathers lying around - probably from running around in a panic, but all birds had made their way inside and were fine, the pens unpenetrated by what looked like a boxer mix and shepherd mix. Big dogs. DH is going to pick up some paintballs for his paintball gun so I can do more than yell and chase next time! (He says he’ll freeze them so they’ll hurt. A lot.
Good.
Today I have a bunch of work to do, so I’d better get to it. Grow-out tractors to build, gotta put a door on one of the other pens and move the chickens into it so they’ll all be together. I think my GLW hen can move out now. Her naked saddle is now full of pinnies, so she’s recovered enough to join the rest of the flock. I’m tired of having three different locations for my 6 chickens
Quarantine is over. No signs of illness in anybirdy, so it’s time!

Life is easier when they are all in one place!

A guy on BYH caught neighbor dogs on his place, literally caught them. He spray painted red target circles on their sides and sent them home. They never came back. I guess their owners got the message. LOL
Cute little lamb. Soon you will have even more sheep. Sheep math at it's finest!
