Critters in the Backyard

When I went out to do chores this evening, this is what I saw:
There's a goat to one side, a couple of llamas, a Maremma LGD in-between, and a rooster. But wait! Look closer! What's on that male llama's back?

Well, look at that, one of the Buff Orpington hens is resting her feet in llama wool.

As a matter of fact, the rooster was on Samson's back too when I first went out, but by the time I grabbed my camera, he'd gone off to see if I was putting out any feed.

Maybe sitting on a sheep or llama's back is like having warm, fuzzy slippers on your feet. Since it was a cool, rainy day, that probably felt good.

I just never know what those critters are going to be up to when I go outside!

What a great set of pics. It's funny, I have this image of llamas being pretty picky about who they are friends with. Certainly not chickens and never letting them sit on their backs. Maybe the chickens toenails scratch an itch the llama can't get to.

It's very colorful and picturesque around your farm! The rooster is especially ornamental. And what is it with chickens having to sit on everybody? LOL

I always get such a bright spot of sunshine when I look in on your farm updates. You've got a great sense of humor and I love the giggle I get when I visit.

How'd the bathroom project go?
