Day Seven Farmspam!

[tripperfunster]

Pics of animals! Which includes gratuitous pictures of cocks. (not animal cocks, but animals that uh .. .are cocks?




Our horse Oats. Which, btw, is a stoopid name for a horse. It's like calling your dog 'Bone' or 'Cookie'. Oats are a treat that they love, so you end up like, saying oats all the time. I have to go get oats. Did you buy oats? Are we out of oats? I did not pick that name.


Random rooster with no name. I was going to call her Genevive, but um, not a girl.


T'hy'la our rescue goat. And no, this is not photoshopped, she is smiling her little goatie smile.


My polka-dot horse Spock. <3


Professor Sprout. She really misses our other goat. (Thyla is a dork, and just annoys her.)


Minion! Every day he jumps out of his enclosure, and every day I open the door and he goes back in. Every. Day.


Chelsea the bunny and Buttons the duck.


Jimmy MacElroy the peacock. It was beautiful out today, but he decided to stay inside.


Wild Canada goose that is hanging out at our place this month.


Carl. He and Minion have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes they hang, sometimes Minion chases him around.


In an effort to own the stupidest looking chickens in the world, we got some of these. Frizzles. This guy followed me around while I was taking photos today. Whenever I would turn and look at him, he'd turn away and try to look innocent.



There were more animals (bunnies, mini horses, a goose and some ducks) who did not feel like posing today. Perhaps in another of these 'hundred' posts I'm doing. Hey, and maybe the inside animals too!

So many kinds of adorable! Your goat looks like Frank the goat! But I'm loving the Frizzles! I think there should be people like that!

You can tell them that they're all very pretty, even Mr. Floofy at the end, there^^ I love the plated effect of Minion's neck feathers! ...maybe 'Gerard' for the rooster who would have been 'Genevieve'? It's still French-feeling? Also, the goose looks like a Louis, or a Bernard^^

Your peacock is lovely! My great aunt and uncle had a bird farm when I was growing up, well, mostly a bunch of mean ostriches, but our peacocks were lovely. :)

You should name your rescue goat Dr. Reid. I suggest this because if you google Matthew Gray Gubler, they share the SAME smile! Both are femmy, technically...

It must be fun on your land surrounded by such wonderful animals, and what a great experience for the kiddos! *sigh* I miss our farm.

Huh, have I seen Spock before? He looks an awful lot like a horse in a photo in the wetcanvas references section. Wouldn't happen to be the same horse, would it? :) He's really neat looking!

Also, I absolutely love frizzle chickens! So excited to see a photo of one here - I always enjoy the look of self-contained feather implosion they have.

These are fabulous. They look adorable. Have you got a Megamind somewhere in the farmyard too?

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

gorgeous

[clayangel.livejournal.com]

Yay! ^_^ I love when you post pictures of your animals.

[demicus.livejournal.com]

That's a mighty handsome picture of your homage to a breakfast food.
I think you saved random rooster's street cred by deciding not to call him Genevive. *smirk*
You rescued a goat from Vulcan! Live long & prosper, smiling T'hy'la.
Is Spock raising an eyebrow in that picture?! Fascinating.
Oh my! Looks like Professor Sprout's been for a roll in the hay with Genevive random rooster, perhaps?
*giggle* I think Minion just likes to keep you on your toes.
Nice to see that Buttons hasn't pecked the heck out of Chelsea.
So you're saying that your peacock prefers foul weather. Pity.
Dinner looks lovely. (≖◡≖)
Carl looks like he's got swagger.
OMG! *looks closer* Did you glue a bunch of Swiffer dusters to a chicken?! Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Beautiful animal family you have there. Smiling goat is too adorable for words. As is the fuzzy chicken. Ridiculous and adorable. Random thing: there are a lot of peacocks that live in this upper class neighborhood near the beach, and people hate them a lot:

I love them all! When can I visit? ;)

[samtastic4.livejournal.com]

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

The question is...what did you do to that goat to make it smile? Huh, huh, c'mon you twisted ho, you can tell me.

[leoparda.livejournal.com]

*critter love*

I can haz farm too, plz? kthxbai

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Frank the goat? DON'T INSULT HER LIKE THAT! Plus, she was de-horned. (not by me)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I never really noticed that plating until you mentioned it. It IS very cool!

Yes, Gerard it is! :D Thanks!

I won't name the goose, he's wild. in fact, he's already gone.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Rescue goat is already named, sorry! Thyla (Star Trek)

It IS a fun place to live. Pain in the ass if we ever go on vacation, but great when we're home!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I've never posted him on Wetcanvas, but I'm not his first owner, so maybe? He's not a great looking horse (aside from his polka dots) so I doubt it.

Yes, frizzles are hilarious. Not terribly cold hardy, so we have to heat them in the winter.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D No. Megamind is in the house. I'll do a picspam of the house animals later.

Megz and Roxanne are Milk snakes.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks! There will be more. I have one hundred days to post!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D Those chickens really do look like dusters! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

HA! Believe it or not, I used to LIVE in Palos Verdes!

Sadly, there were not peacocks there back in 1983. :(

and yes, they ARE loud.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Briing your shovel! It's spring cleaning time! :D

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Think of the fun we'd have!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I take the fifth.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D YEs, everyone should have a farm!

[vividescent.livejournal.com]

Well, now I'm not sure it was wetcanvas or another forum that specializes in pet portraits and wildlife art. If it was, then it was one of the challenge pieces.

The horse in the photo was definitely not what would be considered a pretty horse, haha. He actually looked like someone's pasture pet or maybe a riding school horse. The photo was taken in winter and the horse's shaggy coat was grown out and it was eating hay on the snowy ground. For some reason I keep thinking the name with the photo was "Spock", which is why I asked. The name and the horse looks like the one in the photo, haha.

Maybe some day I'll find where I got it. Wetcanvas has since gotten a lot of photos of horses, and the other forum changed servers and bbs, so if it was there it might be gone now. I haven't gotten to check yet.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Huh, strange!

I've owned him for about two years. I don't *think* I've ever posted a winter pic of him anywhere (although I might have) and before me he lived in Kentucky and his name was Freckles.

There are certainly a few "Leopard Appaloosas" out there though.

If you ever find the pic, I'd love to see it!

[vividescent.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's one that lives on a farm near my house. There've been a few times I've glanced out to see if I could briefly spot it whenever we pass (and I'm not driving). It's so striking! :)

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

Ah, you did? Jealous. I used to go there all the time because my god-grandparents lived there, and we would visit a lot. But I never encountered any peacocks. They're in one particular neighborhood, I think. One day, I need to go search for them, and also visit that weird section of a neighborhood where there is an odd conglomeration of model homes from different eras, such as Edwardian mansions next to Southern plantations.
