Nicky's Nest

Nicky has decided to move out of her pen. Last time she came in heat, she got restless, and repeatedly bent the cattle panel gate on her stall and went wandering around the barn. Concerned that she would get into something she shouldn't, I finally gave up on putting her back, and instead let her into the back part of the barn where the hay is stored.

She promptly set up housekeeping in the loose hay, next to the goat pens (where she can forage for the odd kernel of spilled goat feed). She sleeps almost completely covered in the pile of hay you see below, and (for the most part) shuns the nice lavendar quilt I picked up for her. Sigh.



At feeding time, she navigates into the front of the barn for her soupy meal, then ambles back to her turf. Burning calories!
