The first set of chicks graduated from the brooder and into the chicken tractor since they were flying up onto the side of the brooder. They are happily pecking away in a safe cage on the grass. The 2nd set of chicks is happily running around the brooder. They seem to be happy to have more room than what they had in the extra rabbit cage.
Peter has made the transition to the alpaca barn and pasture. We were a bit concerned that the other alpacas were being mean to him, but Wayne came in the other day and told me we didn't need to feel sorry for Peter anymore. While Mystifier and Indian Paintbrush were enjoying a rest in the 'dirt spot' where they love to soak up the sun and roll in the dirt, Peter walked over and kicked both of them! Since they let him in the barn I guess he's been accepted as part of the herd.
Last, but not least is Pumpkin. She's settling in and giving us delicious milk. She and Twilight have had a few head butting episodes, and Little Creek sometimes tries to bully her, but Pumpkin is holding her own and fitting in with our goat herd. She eagerly runs to the fence hoping a human will give her a scratch on that lovely 'Roman nose'.
