Two Week Old Rescued Nubian Goats Join the Farm 🐐

Okay, it's feeding time. Here are the kids. Mark and Tara here and welcome to the 10-acre woods. So if you saw the thumbnail or the short video videos we posted, you'll know that we have some new kids that came in. So we're going to we're going to check in on them after we do our regular feed here. Yeah, so Tara's got some early morning setting the alarm to get up to feed the two week two week old kids. Yeah, and so we'll get in there shortly. We're going to go out. Marlene is coming. She should be here in probably about 10 minutes to help do the feeding and to hang out and have some coffee and of course check on the new kids. We've been seeing with the new snow, we've been seeing a lot of activity with of course checking in on the cameras and seeing what it's all about. We've got a fox that is roaming around and then of course we've got rabbit tracks as well. But the rabbits know how to hide and they're out at different times. Yeah, so it's pretty comical going back and taking a look at the camera footage and we can see the rabbit runs across and then here comes the fox looking around and rabbits know where to hide. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So we were kind of expecting maybe to see the fox with the rabbit in the mouth but nope, nope, he has evaded the fox. We've got the water here, through the water, got the ponies. Good morning. The weather's supposed to be warming up. I sound like a broken record when I say that. I know. But it looks like it might finally be coming next week. It's coming. So Wednesday the highs should be above the freezing mark. So that'll be good. Oh look at Barry. Barry's lounging. Morning kids. So when the new kids came in, we didn't know the age of them. So hi. So the thought was about putting them out here in the barn but once we found how young they were and they had suffered from some frostbite, we decided, well, it's, what is, are you demanding something? Oh boy. Yeah, hang on, baby. Hang on. Oh wow. Okay. Oh, we already got an apple for Barry. Oh, Barry's all set up. Look at you, Tara. You're just, you're just moving this morning. So Barry's got a banana, some peas, cucumber or pickle, whatever you want to call it, and his apple. Okay. Oh, J.D. Yes, you're gonna get your food right away. All right. So here we go. J.D. and Shorty. Now there's a whole routine here. Stand over there. Yes, I know. I'm just gonna get out of the way. Okay, so one bowl goes down. J.D.'s food goes down. Shorty's food goes in. J.D.'s on the wrong side. There we go. J.D. comes out. Shorty can't have his yet. Get your food. Because I have to sweep your spot. I sweep the floor so he's got a clean floor to eat on. Yeah, look at that hair. I know. He's been really liking his brushes. If I don't sweep it, you stand on it. Yeah, then you can't sweep while you eat. There you go, buddy. There we go. All right. Turn your butt. Okay, good. Turn your butt. That is good. The kids are wanting, uh, you didn't do grains for the kids, right? There's Marlene. Hello, hello. One apple. So one apple for the kids and then their grains. Okay, so the kids have their grains. So we gave them some barley. We gave them some mixed salad. We gave them apples and peas and carrots. So they are happy little campers. Um, so the farrier was here this week too. So all the horses had their feet done. Feet done. Uh, and, uh, very trustworthy. Uh, we love our farrier to death. She's awesome. And, uh, so she gave these two the once over. And yeah, they look good. They're, everything's happening the way it should be happening. It's just slow and steady on these two. So next one would be May. So we're into warmer weather. Yeah. Yeah. So every, every two months, right? Uh, six to six to eight weeks, depending on what she sees. Um, I like the more hands-on. So six weeks is awesome because she's a horse person. I'm just a general animal. Like, so her knowledge, right. Is, is key. So if she sees something, she lets me know and that we're on it. So teamwork. And she was a former vet tech as well, right? Yeah. So a lot of teamwork. They need a lot of, let's put some of that. How's their water? Their water's doing pretty good. And their water's good. Baby's still eating. Their water can use a little bit of a top up. These guys in here have grains. They've got water and they've got water. Okay. Everything's good. Oh, some salad for the, these are these, uh, pre-made salads. So we've been getting a bunch of goodies of expired or nearly expired. Of course we go through everything and make sure it's all, uh, it's all good to the point that we would eat it, right? We're not going to feed any of our animals, anything that we wouldn't eat ourselves. Ah, nice little buffet. Seem to be enjoying that. Yeah, they've been eating a lot and there's a lot there. Okay. So you pre-prepared a bucket? Yeah, because we got our Costco yesterday. So there's a, there's a lot. Do you want anything else in this one? No, that one's going to the dock. Okay. A smorgasbord. Yeah. Now, do you want to carry these? Okay. What am I doing with them? Yeah. Till I turn. Is it you or her? Her. I stopped their mullion. So I'll add their, I'll do their mullion again. Yeah. A little bit of a toss. Okay. Watch out. Broccoli, some carrots. Oh boy. Everything. Oats. Barley. They don't know where to go. They're like, okay. I know. Sorry, Petey. Get everything laid out and then they'll figure out what they want. Lots of veggies, grains. Oh, Charlie, look at you. It looks like you got the apples. You thought we left, you left you? Well, I was coming back in because I'm like, where's the action? But I guess the action just came out here. Fill up the water. All right. I'm now, I'm going to come out and do hay. Yeah. I think they're, they're happy. Good. Oh, look at that. Nice chicken. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was passing you. I got the door. Coco's like door. Hey. Hey. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Don't squish the ducks. Well, they are getting a little bit less now because it's warmer. They're not eating as much. Well, and they got all these treats. Yeah. Good variety. Oh, Joey Petey. There you go Coco. Joey. All right. A little bit there. A little bit for Coco. Just the sound of munching. Right? That's all you can hear. Oh girls. Chimera be nice. Yeah. Chimera's being a little aggressive. Put your meal on. Good. I know. Oh, is that an egg? Somebody laid an egg. Wait until the weather warms up. Okay. It's feeding time. Here are the kids and they are ready. Little tails wagon. This one's got like this around me. So they don't have names yet. Official names, I guess. So what are your thoughts? This one here, they're both boys and this one has two dots. So we were kind of thinking something like dice or snake eyes or I don't know. Snake. And then we were like Huey and Louie and Dewey. Well, we don't have a Dewey. No. We would just have a Huey and Louie. I don't know. Think of some creative names. So yesterday, this is their second day, their third, fourth feed, their fourth feed. So if you watch the short from yesterday, then you will see, we did have some difficulty with the one that's still feeding and there is no issue now. He is a little bit slower, obviously. Well, it could be depending but he is, they both are doing really well. He's like, okay, I want more. So the feedings are three times a day. Yeah. Every eight hours. Yeah. So first thing in the morning at 6 a.m. Yeah. 6 a.m. 6, 2, 2, 10 and 10. So they'll go up to or they'll get, they'll, they'll get their, um, their increase in milk as time goes on. Yeah. Hi. Where's mom? Hi. Up to almost two bottles. We all learned to talk goat. Yes. Mommy's over here. Come here. Yeah. I don't have They're like, where's more? Yep. These guys are a nicer height, eh? Yeah. They're a little bit taller than pygmy goats. So it's funny because this year we don't have any kid goats or weren't planning on having any kid goats. And then these two little ones show up. So these ones were, uh, from the provincial vet's office. So they were a seizure. Uh, we don't know a lot of information about them. We don't get information. Yeah. We don't get much information. Of course there's personal information that's involved too. All we know is where these two came from. There was no adult goat. Well, and do we really know that? We don't really know, right? I think, well, you were told that, right? Well, it's in conversations, right? Cause they can't give us information. Yeah. So we don't know. So we're thinking that maybe they were bottle babies that somebody got. Their ears definitely have like an inch of a frostbite that most likely will fall off. Hi. Yeah. So they kept them outside and 10 days ago, two weeks ago, it was cold. We were down to minus thirties. And if they were outside, even with a heat lamp, you know, if they move and roll around, it's, um, then get cold. Yeah. No, there's no more milk. You get to eat that. So yes, you're inside and you're looking good. We've started them on the creek feed and, uh, hey, trying to get them to eat that kind of stuff and trying not to jump up. They're Nubians. So it's very, uh, common for them to jump. Yeah. Nubians are jumpers. They're a very pushy breed. Yeah. So, uh, if you remember years ago, we had a goat named Velvet and Velvet was also, I think she was a cross Nubian though. She was a Nubian, but her babies were crossed and they'd walk the fence line. Like they, babies would jump up and walk the two by four upright, walk the fence. And it was like, yeah. Well then she was adopted out to a single goat family cause she was very pushy with food. Yes. And her, she had kids. Yeah, but she kind of was just like, eh. Yeah, but she went with the kids, right? I think I'd have to go back. Years ago. Yeah. Cause she came from a friend of mine. Yeah. So the cats are nine cats. Uh, that's Nix is one of them. She tries to push this out to get in because we had, Tara's now put the little hay bale there for them to munch on, but it was in one of these dishes. So Nix would get back there and she would try to get some hay and Coda as well. So they have been, they've been quite interested in the kids, uh, checking them out and sitting and Toby as well. I don't know where Toby is. I guess he's, uh, yeah. So their umbilical cord is, and usually that'll fall off at 10 days. And then they are, of course they will need to be fixed and we'll fix them in around the eight, nine week area. But they'll make awesome pets for somebody. Yeah. So we will, we'll keep them. Mark's already falling for them. Wow. They're cute. That's the small, like when they're this small, of course, look at them. Um, we'll definitely keep them over spring, summer and we'll, we'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, message me if you're interested when they're done. Yeah. We were talking about it the other day. Kid goats are like, they're just cute, right? How can you not? Everybody, everybody likes baby animals for sure. And I know your followers are going to be like, are you keeping them? What are you thinking, Nara? You just want to rub them. Is that what you want to do? Yeah. Koda is usually found inside it. Yeah. Well, I was wondering this morning. I was wondering last night because he was sitting here and I was wondering if we were going to find him. Oh, it's coming up over. Thought we were going to find them inside the cage in the morning, slobbered from being sucked on. What is that? What is that Koda? Those kids. This is not the way we do things. Yeah. Well, what we've done in the past is put blankets or towels here. Well, they run into it and try and climb it. Oh, you tried it already. Okay. We had a towel that was over there and one of them full on backed up and jumped at it. And then Marlene was standing here and it backed up that one. I heard about that. And it went to run and jump at her and you could see him doing the backup and the steps. Come on. Two weeks old. What are you guys doing? Little jumpers. Velvet's the little one was doing the fences. Yeah. All right. My legs are out. You guys need to go for your nap. I will let you out after you pee and Toby. There he is. Oh, did you just let him in? He always likes the babies. Yeah. He was sitting here and he, um, I had the gate open last night and I was petting them and Toby went in and gave them, gave them some licks. As soon as we walked in with them, he went over and just was sniffing them. Yeah. He's like more babies. He's used to it. Aren't you, Toby? Yeah. You crazy mother. Yeah. She brings them all in. Oh yeah. All right. So that is the kids. So if you guys have any names that you'd like to throw down in the comments, right, then let us know what you think. Yeah. And do you think they're cute? And would you be willing to adopt one? Right. How can you say no? Yeah. Yeah. Both of them. You have to take both. You have to take both. Yeah. We like bonded pairs. Yeah. So that's it for this video. I hope you enjoyed it. We'll give you, we'll try to give you as many updates as we can on social media, making more reels and shorts. I've talked to Tara about it in the past and she said last week, she said, well, maybe I'll try to figure out how my camera works on the phone because she doesn't do a lot of that stuff. So she's new to the whole cell phone thing. So be patient. So I'm trying to upload when I can. Uh, and of course, when Tara's out at the barn and I get home from work, um, and she says, Oh, you wouldn't believe what I saw today. It was so cute. So I say, well, did you take a video of it? No, I didn't have my phone with me. So we'll try it. I'm in work mode. I got like shovel and poop and one, FYI, where were you today? Yeah, I know. Yeah. I got some dirt on my, my jeans. Yeah.
