Trip to the farm

Today, the kids and I joined other homeschoolers for a tour around the farm. We saw many typical farm animals. J says she remembers cows, pigs, and horses the most and that she got to pet small animals. Prime remember going inside the pen to see little goats eating hays and the lamas.

I remember the pig was really smelly and the turkey was showing off his feathers, even though that was not the turkey served at your normal Thanksgiving dinner. I learned that the roosters have an extra horn on its legs and that is how you know it is a rooster and not a hen. Different kinds of chicken produce different kind of eggs; the color of the eggs are different. The chicken sleeps standing on ladders. The eggs will not be able to incubate below 89F.


If the ducks stays in the pond, they will likely be snatch by predators, like coyote, etc.
A cute bunny. J touched all the small animals while Prime just watched.
That is a rooster. He got an extra horn on his leg.


That is a typical turkey, but it is the white one that is on the side that is served on Thanksgiving dinner tables.
The pig is coming! All the kids back off when he came trotting in the mud. His eyes is an orange color.


The horses was not shy and eager to eat.
Petting the goats while they eat hay. J was really brave today while Prime just watched.
At last, Prime was willing to TRY to feed the lama, but was scared.

It was fun learning about the farm animals.
