Star is a little more stand-offish, still. I have to catch her before I feed her and she leaves when she's done guzzling. I've tried holding her on my lap and grooming her, but she's just not that interested. Trying to catch her to feed her can be challenging as she is small and very fast and agile. I'm hoping she'll warm up to me eventually.
After all, I've only had them since Saturday.
Meanwhile, homesteading has been a lot of daily chores with moments of cuddling a baby turkey and ducks and baby goats. The garden, for the most part, has to be replanted thanks to the local squirrel, so it's mostly a loss at this point.
Currently we are home to:
15 chickens (4 week-old pullets, 7 16-week old chickens, 4 laying hens)
7 ducklings
5 goslings
1 turkey
2 goats
1 cat
1 guinea pig
5(?) fish
Other than whittling down, we are done. We have enough animals!
Speaking of which... ultrasound tomorrow!
