Duck Door Update

Well, the duck door fix keeps the goats from getting inside... But it's big enough for Brighita to put her head through and get stuck. 

You'd think she'd learn after the first two times. Nope. She's gotten stuck at least four times. 🙄

Basically, every time we open the duck door to let them forage in the pasture, she gets her head stuck. I've taken to counting goats whenever I peek out the windows that overlook the pasture. If I don't see her, I know I have to go rescue her. 

Really, we should kick the ducks out and shut the door so no one can get back in, ducks or goats. We can open the gate back up at night to lock the ducks in. 

Sneaky Goats

Once again, the goats surprise me at how they can sneak through tiny holes. Today, four goats found their way into the trampoline. I couldn't see an access point from my window view, but once I got up close, I found the culprit. 

Yes. That little opening. 

Since they'd eaten all the chicken feed and wanted a drink, they walked out the door without complaint. 

I refilled the chick's water and feed, and once I did, the lure of feed brought our boss goat sniffing around again. 

I fixed the opening by weaving twine through the broken chicken wire and the trampoline pole. 

That ought to keep them out! Although, I've said that before... 😅
