The Herd of Goats at Neighborhood

We just saw for a herd of goat grazing on the grass at our neighborhood recently. This is the first time for us, and we don't know the owners yet.

We thought that this is just the cutest thing. Not for the owners but definitely our smile for the day.

Some suggest that it could be a new lawn service. It's gotten out of hand. At least the goats don't have to come out and give you an estimate. They just get the job done, no questions asked.

There are lots of businesses that can be hired to bring herds of goats to clear out overgrown properties or "mow" a field.

It's a cute business model -- the goats eat free, the property owner gets beneficial "soil amendments," and the goat owner gets paid for the effort of hauling them around.

We've never seen it here!

What do you think?

The Pears on the Yard - Food 47

We have a pear tree full of pear last summer, sometimes, animals in the backyard stealing them before we pick them all.

If the critters use that pear tree as part of their tree or bush pathway around our yard, they usually will take the pears.

In case of our pears, there are 4 main critters to steal the fruit in our neighborhood, they are including:

- birds

- squirrels

- raccoons

- rodents

We may pick the fruits when their sizes about fist or tennis ball, then store in the dark place for a week or weeks, and they will ripen.

Why is my Hen Molting? - Nature 149

If we are raising chickens, we might not aware that chicken plumage falls down on daily and falling increases at a certain time.

Based on internet resources that temperature is the main factor to cause falling of chicken's feathers. As degree of coldness drops in certain seasons, the chickens cast off, might resemble leaves dropping down from the trees. 

Moreover, another factor that "broody chickens may begin to molt once they have finished caring for their chicks."

So, we no need to worry or wonder, because chickens molting is a natural process. The old feathers will be replaced by new ones.
