Eat More, Eat Less

While we're waiting for the stalls to be built for our cows and donkeys, we're having a Dickens of a time getting Fiona to eat enough, and the donkeys to eat less. To be honest, I say donkeys, but it's really Patches. Patches is what I expected the goats to be like, eating anything and everything around. It's too hot to give her much exercise, plus we don't know if she is pregnant yet, so we're allowing her to keep her belly for now. 

I'd like to say she was the only animal overeating, but it appears our goats Cocoa and Sundae (the dark ones) are getting pudgy, too. You'd think black would be slimming on them, but nope, they've got some excess. I've started limiting their treats and encouraging them to play more. Cocoa is large for her breed anyway, so she can hide it better. Sundae though, she either needs to grow out of some of that belly or she's going to get on Patches exercise regime. 

All the chickens are super healthy which I'm thankful for. They keep themselves groomed and cooled and the other animals tend to get them exercising. Meaning, Fiona scares them to move before she lays down, haha.
