The dogs - Ollie is the boss dog.  He has been a faithful partner for 4 years now.  He's a Border Collie, traditionally a herding breed of dog.  Ollie helps out in all sorts of ways.  He helps bring in all the horses, round up ducks, and at times barks to encourage a stubborn horse or pony.

The puppy is Panda, also a Border Collie.  She is still learning what to do, but the herding instinct is strong and she truly is a working dogs.

The cats - I raise Manx cats.  More information on our Manx cats and kittens can be found HERE!

Ducks - Raising Muscovy ducks is one of my favorite hobbies.  More information about my Muscovies can be found HERE!  We also raise several Pekins.

***WANTED - Pair of Cayuga ducks

Chickens - A rooster and hen pecking in the stable yard is usually the first thing you'll see when you pull up to the barn.  We keep and raise several chickens throughout the year. 

Our chicks are started inside, with heat lamps and we feed Dumour or Southern States brand poultry starter to all our young birds.  We have several breeds of chickens including: Americana, Dominique, Old English Game, Black Australorp, and several crosses raised right here on the farm.

***WANTED - Top-hat chickens or chicks

Two white Embden geese call the stable their home.  They are 2 years old, a goose (female) and a gander (male) pair.  They can be found on the pond, gracefully swimming with their long, arched necks.  This year was the first year for the female to lay eggs and make a nest.  She used an old duck nest underneath the feed room to lay her eggs.  Her mate stays with her as her bodyguard day and night.  Once a day, everyday, they make their way to the pond, honking as they go, where the female bathes in the pond, eats a quick meal, and hurries back to her nest.  Her devoted mate follows behind her, keeping the other ducks and chickens away.  She settles back on the nest and continues to wait the 28-35 days it takes for her eggs to hatch.

Rabbits - We keep several rabbits for the children who come to camp to help care for.  We also raise several litters of rabbits each year to sell.
