- Live-Action Porch Goose The imperfect security system. They honk, hiss and bite at intruders and leave poopy traps everywhere #geese #hobbyfarm #smallfarmlife
- Tater has "Paint me like one of your French girls" vibes #orangecat #catsofbluesky #kittens #kittensofbluesky #barncats
- Ethel has decided she would also like to be a mama The answer is "No", but she keeps trying #hen #backyardchickens #broody #smallfarm
- And then there were two! They are definitely sired by our little Bantam Silkie Roo. They have extra toes and already have feathers on their feet and legs! #chicks #backyardchickens #chickensofbluesky
- The first of Edna's clutch hatched. The mail order chicks arrive tomorrow morning...I was eggspecting the home-grown kids to hatch out in a couple more days. This one's early or my math is bad. It's so stinking cute #chicks #backyardchickens #chickensofbluesky #smallfarmlife
- The edge of the storm
- Still broody 3 of the 5 eggs she is sitting on are showing signs of life #chicken #hen #backyardchickens #broody
- Sunset through the Sand Cherry
- Another kitten pic, because reasons From left to right: Tater, Shoestring, Curly #kittens #kitty #cats #catsofbluesky #tatercats
- The potato kittens got their first playday in the barn. Shoestring, the runt, decided to visit the milk bar in a very unusual way... ...all my animals are weird #kitten #kitty #catsofbluesky #barncats #cats
- Still broody I may need to candle her eggs soon to see if they're even viable #chicken #hen #broody #backyardchickens
- The thanks I get for refilling the bowl of goose pellets Don't get a goose #goose #gander #goosebumps #smallfarmlife
- Plum Blossoms The little orchard smells like heaven. Only one plum remains, so there is rarely ever fruit, but it's always the first to flower and bring the better scent of Spring #orchard #blossom #smallfarmlife
- The final moments at the end of a long day of Yard Waste Clean Up
- Still broody... I do not need more chickens I do not need more chickens I do not need more chickens ...I gave her some eggs back Whoops! #hen #chickens #backyardchickens #broody
- This Edna. Edna is a cream crested legbar chicken. Edna is feeling broody We added legbars to the flock for 4 specific reasons, in order: 1. Good layers 2. Predator savvy/prefer to range 3. Rarely to never broody 4. Blue eggs! I always get the weird ones #chicken #backyardchickens #hen #broody
- Sometimes you are a runt, and your eyes are crusted shut 'cause you're working through some things, and your real mom is outside taking some "me time" and you just need to feel comforted so you settle for taking a nap in a human's palm This is Shoestring #kitten #runt #catsofbluesky
- Collette has gone broody. She is convinced she needs to sit her nest for the majority of the day I am 90% sure there is nothing in the nest but am 50/50 considering putting some chicken eggs in there... #goose #smallfarmlife #hobbyfarm
- Apple, Plum, Pear and Cherry Sooooo close to feeling alive again All received the first holistic spray treatment yesterday #hobbyfarm #orchard #smallfarmlife #spring
- For #caturday I offer up, The Runt These little taters will be 4 weeks old this coming Monday #kittens #catsofbluesky
- Everyone's favorite phallic spring-time veggie has awoken from its slumber We'll be going hot and heavy for a few weeks...this stuff grows inches a day #garden #veggies #asparagus
- This is the face of an innocent creature who was not playing in the muddy stream created by an overflowing water tank in the horse paddock #malamute #dogs #dogsofbluesky
- It happens every day as the sun winds down, but it's somehow always new
- I do NOT understand "Goose Logic" Goose: Runs 20 feet straight at me Goose: Hisses aggressively. "Now you're in my space!" Me: "Dude I wasn't in your space, you put me in your space" Goose: Threatens violence Goose: Turns and walks away honking Me: Turns and walks away Goose: ATTACKS
- Boxelder making its way out of dormancy Love the trees, could do without the beetles
- A sweet moment with my Velociraptor Francis. This was the first time in a couple months he hasn't tried to maim me for sitting in his general direction Hopefully we get this temperment back once breeding season is over #goose #smallfarmlife #hobbyfarm
- Trash Pandas are raiding the bird's nests in the silo again On one hand this means no or few pigeons this summer On the other hand....eff those destructive little trash monsters, go cause chaos somewhere else
- More signs of life All it takes is a couple of warm days... ...keep em coming
- Signs of life! The grass is still brown with only the faintest haze of green but the Rhubarb has decided it's time to wake up
