Twisted Fern Forest Critters

Kids

The kids explore first... but, Mamma isn't far behind.

Mamma and Bandit

Kuma and the Kids

Kuma was already in the bushes eating, the kids found him.

Mesa chased Bandit and started a stampede. Mamma is telling Arlen about it. (Bandit thought it was fun)

Lucy got mad

Lucy scolding Mesa, everybody had to go back into their own pens because Mesa made Mamma mad. Lucy likes Mamma and gets annoyed when Mesa, Huck or Banjo get in trouble.

Good Morning Sunshine

Hello?

Morn' greet'in from Ma Hen. She came to invite us to the Circus in the front yard....

The Circus Tent

Bon Viveur, Mamma

Bon Viveur, Mamma

Arlen put the corn on the other side of the fence to, later, take it to the compost.... Mamma found it first!

Karma

Mamma enjoying a kid-free hay box

So, lately the boys have been getting in trouble for loitering in Mamma's hay box. I thought it was karmic irony that the chickens started loitering in the goats feed station lately... and pooping in it!

Two of the 6 new chicks loitering in the goat pen

 

 They have been left to fend for themselves and this is where they like to hang out.

Larry, Curly and Mo

The three older chicks get the top... the goats food station! The goats get a lesson in Karma!

BTW- That middle chick has some amazing colors the camera can't capture... and those chicks are 8 weeks old... HUGE!

Mamma Is Happy

Happy Cows

Today's update: Mamma is happy I kicked the kids out of her box!

Peace On The Farm...?!

Mamma

This is Mamma, she is the boss and should be respected. Bad behavior is ignored or mooed at, like little rascals dumping and peeing in her hay box.

Little Rascals

Mamma tolerates the kids but is quite over their shenanigans. She looks to me to solve her problems... better step up!! No matter how annoyed she is, she is never mean. What a great cow!

P.S. Photos taken with smart-phone since real camera is not available. Not bad!
