Jack and Jill ~ Our Mini Donkeys ~

Jack and Jill with Chowderhead


Donkeys are new for us! We are loving them. 
The donkeys are our guard animals for our sheep.
Jack gets pretty upset whenever anything
 comes near our little mini sheep pasture.
Here are a few shots of our Mini Donkeys. 
They were wild when we got them
Now we can hardly push them out of our way!

Our New Chickens

We have our Barred Rock Chickens!

We had a contest to name the rooster on Facebook,
and all our Ferguson relatives voted to name him
Rooster Cogburn.
Here he is in all his splendid glory:
We have not got our permanent Coop made  yet, so the
chickens are residing in temporary quarters.
Here are a few pictures of Cogburn and the girls.




The pullets are just now starting to lay.
We are now getting 4 eggs a day. We have 10 pullets.
The girls all have 1800s names.
Mable, Hattie Mae, Myrtle, Opal, Ruby, Ethyl,
 Harriet,Esther, Ruth, & Margaret.

Back to blogging after a 2 year break....

Been a long time since I have done any blogging on this blog!
So here is a mini update on what has been going on in our lives.
We moved back to our Louisburg Missouri farm in June of 2010.

The people who owned the place in our absence had done some
updating on the house, but it had that generic feel to me,
and my husband and sons helped me to get it back to feeling homey
on the inside, and now the house has my personality once again.
There is still quite a lot of work to do on the inside,
but much more needing done outside!   
Terry retired in June of 2011. He of course went right back to
work in a welding shop.

We have some pretty long range plans for our little Hobby Farm,
and have started to see some of our plans fall into place.
Our Little flock of sheep has grown to 8 ewes and 1 ram.
We now have 3 Australian Shepherds on the farm, and
2 Holstein calves and 1 Welsh Mountain Pony.

Last year we had a not so productive garden, we hope to do some
raised bed gardens this year, I want to make myself put more effort
into working the garden this year.

We are getting some lumber this week to build our chicken coop and yard.
We have ordered barred rock hens and some Guinea hens for this spring.
We are thinking about getting a couple peafowl too.

I have been looking into getting another pony that is already broke,
and also thinking about purchasing a couple little mini studs this spring.
Might even get a mini donkey.
Check out some pictures of our farm on our website. For some reason the slide show takes a minute to load.
