Here's big pregnant Moo laying in her chicken coop. She simply cannot get any bigger - no way.
Here's Smoke without her winter coat. She is just a beautiful lady.
Fire is our two yr. stallion and I think he's looking fantastic!
Here's the barn with the gate across the front so we can leave it open without Moo or the goats getting in. It's much easier to work in throughout the day open but not worth fighting grain-seeking livestock.
Ed worked in the barn all weekend re-arranging and organizing. I swear that man is a freak when it comes to organization! Everytime I think I've got a handle on something, he spends two hours re-doing it and son-of-a-gun improves the system tremendously! He's so awesome. All our supplies are neatly shelved with several boards covered in nail-hooks for the boarders to hang their tack. He's nearly got my grain room finished and it will be wonderful to actually stock up on sales without worrying about chickens pecking the bags open! I tell you, those girls make a great clean-up crew and we love the eggs, but they are a real pain to coordinate around. We talked about penning them, but the bug control and poop issue around the house keep them free-ranging.
I'm late with chores, but will post some more pics as I can.

Poor Moo! Will you let her keep the chicken coop once she's calved?
That Moo's as big as a house. Poor thing, and we thought we had it bad at nine months. Hope she pops soon!!!
Well we've decided that Moo really needs to learn how to be a cow so when she calves and our friends bring their cattle out here we're going to put her out there with them. It will be tough. Until then though, she'll still have the run around the house with the baby.
I think the chickens will kind of be glad to have her gone from their coop. They can't scratch the floor in there at all with her in the way!
