Around the Keeslar Farm....

Last week on the farm the youngest grand children visited...Grandma made eggs with cheese, fresh fruit and some chicken.  Then I even made cookies, but they enjoyed the fruit and chicken more!  Good for you kids!!! I love what the shirt says that the youngest one is wearing!!!

Our youngest daughter also visited...and her father (my hubby) brought the youngest goat in side for a visit!  He was named Bob by our other grand children, although we are not really sure if that name will 'stick' but time will tell!

This is 'bob' outside in his stall...under the heat lamp...

Our two twin lambs -so far named salt and pepper, but those names will change too, are growing.   They sneak out of the pen and roam around in the barn all over!  When you go out to the barn and go in, you will often surprise them and they look at you like "were not into anything --really"

The other goats are all getting along just fine, these are the two babies that we  got last year...from our pastor...

 And I had to show the peacocks new tail feathers.  We are finally down to only one peacock!  yeah!  After years of having up to 23 at one time!

His color looks sort of reddish in the light, and yes it really looks that way.   When he moves into a slightly different light, it changes.  So pretty!

New Babies Arrive This Week

We had new babies hatch out this week. Sigh. I really did not want any more peacocks/peahens...but here are 3 more.










Here you can see one of the babies...far behind the mother and the other two-trying to catch up!


















Early this spring one of the pea hens tried to hatch out some eggs, but a coon or something else got them (maybe even the neighbor!) and they did not survive. That was actually fine with me.












Then last month I found her sitting on a nest of 5 eggs. I can not kill anything just to kill it, so we figured here we go again...5 more. Something got one egg, so then down to 4. Yesterday they were hatched out in the early morning, but one did not break thru its shell all the way, so did not make it. So 3 new babies. We do not know if they are female or males. (hopefully males).
Here is one of our males...
