Up Close And Personal
Up, Close and Personal with Fred! Fred came to us and wasn't very nice and didn't like to cuddle!!!! 1 six-year-old and some Rolo chocolate later (he stole it out of her hand) he's a big suck! We call him Stinky Fred and he is so gross!!!!!!! But the ladies love him! He also loves trying to do Goat Judo, butting me when I'm not looking, and black oil sunflower seeds!
Up Close and Personal with Dougal, rescued from an Alcoholic in 2012, his original name was sambuca, a mini-Dash Hound cross Shitsu, he literally has no legs and just paws! This pup has out walked out ran and out cuddled any dog we've ever had! Now 11 he is slowing down a bit but boy, what a personality! He's travelled over 35000 miles since then by RV, plane, Car, and sailboat! Quite the little m
Up Close and Personal with Fluffy Butt! Our lone Cochin Rooster doesn't really think about being a chicken, is almost a year old has never crowed and we have never seen him mate a hen. He looks like a Star Wars Ton Ton when he runs! He's the most gentle cuddly Rooster we have!!!!!

Up Close and Personal with Phoenix!
Phoenix came to the Homestead in July 2022, before then wehad a major fox problem! Since he arrived, we have not lost a single animal! He has eaten most of our furniture, all of Cathy's Shoes, and the internet yes, the internet!!!!!!!!Seriously!!!!!! He's a goofball but a really good boy!!! Took him a little time to get there but he is now king of the homestead
Up Close and Personal with Pants, An Accidental Homestead Original Mix, She's a Silkie cross, and came out like she's wearing overalls, beautiful gold brown and black lacing! She doesn't mix with the rest of the flock and much prefers hanging with the goatherd and strutting outside the rooster coop showing off her pants!
Up Close and Personal with Sleepy! Our lone Gold Laced Polish Rooster! Sleepy got his name when he was a day-old chick! He would race across the brooder race back and literally fall over asleep! Rest for a minute and repeat! As he grew, he became kind of jerk to his hens...so he has gotten a couple of time outs to the rooster coop!!!!! Solitary sorted him out after his second stint, now he's back
Up Close And Personal
Up Close and Personal with Just Johnny, He was June Carter, but he turned out to be a boy and I didn’t want to call him Johnny Cash because everyone has one of those, so we called him Just Johnny (John Wick, John Travolta, Johnny Depp, Johnny Knoxville,) or whatever you think that starts with Jonny.
Up Close and Personal with Latte, Sweet girl with a pink nose! Latte is due in a couple of weeks for her first kidding. Skittish at first and not as rambunctious as her brother once she gets to know you, she'll warm your heart.
Up Close and Personal with Howard! Howard is an adventurous Muscovy, spends most of his days bathing and cleaning himself! His favorite thing to do is try to run off and make mom chase him up the hill, but only after his 15 baths!
