I was chasing goats!<br /><br />I like the image of goats as having cat-like personalities. The other day when I wrote that they're good on the leash - well that was just an excuse for them to start being BAD on the leash!Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-88473484647696241952010-05-24T18:30:45.862-04:002010-05-24T18:30:45.862-04:00I too have to move my goats from pasture to barn e...I too have to move my goats from pasture to barn every morning and evening. I've tried leash and no leash. Leash definitely wins out since they're more like cats in personality and will not come when called if a tasty bit of grass catches their eye on the trip to or fro and chasing goats isn't in my morning routine--hard to explain that to your boss when you've come in late!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-48744330437023558842010-05-24T18:25:30.149-04:002010-05-24T18:25:30.149-04:00So true, Jennifer!

I spent some time on your blog today fascinating!<br /><br />Sue - I never would have even considered turkeys except for your adventure!

Moveable coops are just the greatest invention. <br /><br />Just found your blog, interested in this goat venture of yours. It's nice to read about what other people are doing. And why does it always seem so much more interesting and well thought-out than your own patched together farmyard?!?Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-71834520649560664262010-05-24T10:37:28.100-04:002010-05-24T10:37:28.100-04:00Beware turkeys!

The coop is supposed to be balanced when the wheels are down so you can pull it, but I put it together backwards (accidentally), so I can't move it without mechanical assistance. I think it could be moved with 2 people.<br /><br />Hi My Edible Yard - welcome! Now that I see how easy the hens are, I want more! Next year I think I want to try turkeys...Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-42509146907421342482010-05-24T08:24:25.466-04:002010-05-24T08:24:25.466-04:00With all you know about coops now, you could go in...With all you know about coops now, you could go into the mail-order coop business yourself. ;-) Geez, well maybe you could!<br /><br />It looks fabulous and those hens looks busy and happy - nice work!LindaCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316183776592482615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-23720451786457612472010-05-24T08:18:20.213-04:002010-05-24T08:18:20.213-04:00We're doing the urban chicken thing.
