Lady had arguably the best FF udder in our herd in 2024, so we made hardly any effort to sell her kids. After we decided once and for all to retain Jolene’s littermate brother, Monkey, it only made sense to keep her, too!

A very unexpected April Fool’s doeling for BCF Legacy’s PBB Avalon and Mosaic’s Smooth Criminal *B!
Avalon was due on 4/3 and had no obvious signs of labor yet, so she was out in Gen Pop and we were at the store when this baby was born! Our senior doe, Vivi, took her herd queen responsibilities to heart - Viv kept everyone away from the doeling, including her mama 😅
Avalon has zero udder, which shows the importance of having backup colostrum and/or colostrum replacer - we love Shepherd’s Choice from @premier1supplies - it has the highest IgG we could find, plus the kids tolerate it well.
There might be another kid in there, but Avalon isn’t a fan of being touched, so we can’t tell yet.
We’re SO glad that everyone seems to be okay - Avalon is our teeniest FF and smaller than some of our yearlings, so we’ve been terrified of her having birthing trouble!

Two gorgeous doelings for Heaven’s Hollow Sharp and Half Barn Farm TRI Spitfire 🔥
We might let one of these girls go, but this is one of our most anticipated pairings, so we’ll see!

Life is freezing mud today after a strong thunderstorm all night, and most of the girls refused to cooperate for pics, but check out Dolly 😍
We miiight keep one of her two boys, but the other will be up for grabs! They’re our only F6 (purebred) kids this year and have their *B.
We’ll try to get pics of the bucklings soon! One is a slender black & tan mini-me of Dolly and the other is a chonk & we think is buckskin like Denarius, but he’s so covered in white that we’re not 100% sure.

Sorry to our non-goat followers for the rear-end shot, but check out Green Gables Amazing Black Petunia’s cute little pre-udder 😍
We have three Comet daughters here, and absolutely adore them all - Petunia is looking like she’s going to turn out just as nice as Dolly and Lady! Now we just have to convince her that the milk stand will not unalive her after we moved it from its old spot that she was used to 😅

Trying to get cute pics of the geese is really hard when they’re trying to unalive us 😅
Luckily, they’ll be back to their sweet selves soon! Except Charlie - we don’t think he was handled much after hatching, so he usually just avoids us!

Two boys for Green Gables AC She’s a Doll 6*P and Storybook’s Denarius! The first one looks exactly like her, only with dark ears, and the second is a beefcake with lots of white. He came out with one leg back, which was super fun for everyone.
Both of these guys are eligible for their *B if registered. We’re leaning towards keeping one as a Denarius backup, but we’ll see!
*edited to add, because we don’t really care, but know that a lot of people do - they’re F6 and can be registered as purebred as long as their ears stay down!

THREE does for Pickles and Storybook’s Denarius! Pickles needed a little help dilating her cervix, but things went smoothly after that.
One doe is retained and the others will be up for grabs. No idea which yet! Two have moonspots and one looks spotless buckskin like her daddy.
Dolly is about to kid now, too!

A few people have gotten upset and a little bit snarky when we say we can’t safely ship eggs yet. Here’s a pic of our current view, hope this clears things up a bit 😅
We start shipping in April or May, depending whether temps are consistently above freezing!

Stilllll waiting on Pickles! The poor girl looks miserable now - hopefully she releases these kids soon! We have to run and get groceries, so odds are high it’ll be then 😂
Green Gables AC She’s a Doll 6*P and Heaven’s Hollow Sharp are next on the docket - Sharp is absolutely massive, so we’re praying for her sake that she’s got a whole litter of doelings in there 🙏

And now, the one 90% of our waitlist has been waiting for - the Partridge Chanteclers are ready to test for fertility!
A few from our line have done really well in shows in the area, but we have hatched a few that have grown out with small white spots on their heads. Not sure what the deal with that is, but we’re pretty sure we caught the culprit.

Buckeyes, forever and always our favorites here, are finally ready to fertility test next week, then we’ll start contacting our loooong waitlist!
Full disclosure, we never know which chicks will be show quality because anything involving genetics is a gamble, but we especially have no idea now that we’ve brought in some semi-new blood to refresh our flock. Their base is still Lay, though!
(These are recycled pics of our flock, taken by us)

Our very first, very chonky half-Ober, half-Guernsey girl from Autumn-Acres RT Riesling (*M pending) & SWAK CrazyTrain 💛 We didn’t feel anybody else in there, but we’ll see soon enough! It’s close enough to St. Paddy’s for an Irish name, right?
