Sheep spa day

Today it was the turn of the sheep to be hosed off for the show. They still have a mild shampoo (for faces etc)  and hoof trimming on either Tuesday or Thursday but this was just to get off the dirt. Sunny stood like a pro and actually seemed to enjoy it. He's been butting heads with Dreamer though, and has managed to chip part of his horn. Hopefully that's ok.


Cammie was not happy about it, but I was so happy with her leading and standing that I didn't mind.


Jacqi looked like drowned rat until she had a good shake.


I also thought people might like chicken pictures. So here is Annabelle the rooster, he got out of the coop this morning all by himself. He was supposed to be a hen but has done a few funny crow things and has a very red wattles and comb. The name Annabelle has stuck though.


And Rosalie our alpha chicken.


And a few of the girls' enjoying some corn from the cob.


This is the spaghetti squash plant that is taking over everything.


All-in-all a beautiful day.


It finally feels like summer.

  2. Thanks Nancy. I hope they stay clean too. They have their coats back on and so far the weather is co-operating. I tried to pick a good variety of chickens as I could only have 8, and I love them, they are such fun.
