Fall Farm Photos (2014)


Last year I spent some time taking photos around the farm. As we approach our two-year mark on Mayhew Farm, I thought I would do the same. So here are some lovely pictures for you all!



 Henry, one of our silver laced wyandotte roosters has free reign of the yard. His favorite activities include staying at the top of the pecking order, running at random intervals, and following humans around hoping for treats.





Ana (short for Anastasia) is one of the baby goats we brought home last spring. She and her sister, Raven, were bottle fed by us as kids and are now super friendly. They love having their ears and chins scratched! And with that face, it's impossible to resist.




"Mama" duck is half of our pair of pekin ducks. She decided not to wait til spring and laid a clutch of eggs. She has been sitting on her nest diligently, and seems to be taking good care of her babies despite freezing nights and low daytime temperatures. Hopefully she will hatch out a new bunch of ducklings soon!




Maya is enjoying the fall, but she's not ready for it to snow!






A few weeks ago we picked up a breeding pair of impeyans (Himalayan monal). They're in the pheasant family, a cousin of peafowl. Though this pair is young now, beginning next year, the male will begin to grow extravagant, brilliantly colored feathers.


Happy Fall y'all!
