rainy night, full house


It has been raining (seemingly) non-stop for the past 3 days.  Our goats typically spend their evenings out in the pasture, but on nights like this they take full advantage of their mobile shelter.  The shelter is 128 square feet; there are 13 hens, 1 rooster, 2 turkeys, and 8 goats.  There is plenty of room for everybody, but they are not all accustomed to being so close together.  If you look closely, you can see one of the hens attempting to roost on one of the goats in the foreground.  It will be interesting to see how they all do once it starts snowing again in a few months.

  1. I absolutely love the idea of having all of the animals together using one shelter. Your setup appears quite efficient and is how God has created things to be (efficient and symbiotic). I am glad to see that the turkeys are well. The chicken roosting on the goat is great (she has the best seat in the house!).
