Let’s meet the farm animals

I know most of you are already familiar with farm animals kan but we weren’t Winking smile. So, it was a fun and exciting time for us and the girls especially to get up close and personal with some of the animals at the farm.

The farm we stayed at is an organic farm, it has fruit orchards (apples, plums, apricots and citrus), organic vege patch and also sheep and cattle.

Masa we all sampai tu, the farmer took us straight to collect some eggs and then got given a bowl of freshly picked fruits.

But they also keep a few other farm animals like chickens for their egg purposes, a couple of ducks for eggs (even though diaorang kata setakat ni belum lagi bertelur, hehehe), alpacas for their cuteness, a goat (for breeding and milk soon) and guinea fowls for insect control Smile .

The alpacas and the calves, the sheep and lambs were in another paddock and we didn’t get a chance to meet them Sad smile.

Ini sessi berkenalan dengan the animals.

Trying to get close to the alpacas on the first day..

Can you see the group of guinea fowls tu. Mencecet2 diaorang lari and squawking thinking that we were going to chase them, hahaha.

Milko the goat which was the girls’ favourite animal on the farm.

Who’s cuter? the goat or Miss 7? Winking smileIf you ask me I would say, dua2 ada tarikannya tersendiri, muahahha…

The Other Half said that I have to put this photo on my blog to show people how penggeli I am. I am not thaaaaaat peggeli but when an alpaca is sniffing your hand and trying to lick it, ugghhhhhhhh…… euwwwwww………

The 2 ducks that can’t be separated. They go everywhere and do everything together! Sampai sekarang tak bertelur2 so now the farmers are questioning whether they did get a female and a male duck, hmm…..

    Kak Zai pun kadang2 rindu dengan suasana kampung yang ada binatang peliharaan seperti ayam,itik,kambing dan lembu.

    Anak2 langsung tak merasa duduk kampung,nak buat macamana.

    Shereen,
    I didn't know what they were either until hubby told me :-). I guess it's his NZ upbringing at farms definitely pays off ;-).

    Cat,
    sadly no, if there were ostriches there, my girls memang gerenti tak nak balik I think, hahaha

    June,
    oh ye ke :-). Kat OZ ni banyak ladang alpacas around. I think apacas ni adik beradik llamas kot, hehehe

    Hazwan,
    I ni penakut orangnya but only with certain things, hahahaha

    Al,
    I geli sbb nak menanti the alpaca cium2 tangan I tu, hehehe

    Shiera,
    maybe you kena pergi masa end of Summer lah so tak lah panas n tak lah sejuk. We all pergi ni masa tgh2 Winter so memang sejuk giler kat farm tu.

    Zuwaidah,
    hehehe...tgh mengarang ni :-)

    Della,
    maybe sbb tgh musim sejuk kot that's why ladang tu tak bau busuk and cantik aje unlike mcm klu kita pergi ladang lembu and kambing kat msia, hehehe.

    Putu,
    memang sekali sekala patut bagi exposure kat budak2 ni or else kambing pun diaorang tak kenal, hehehe

    Alia,
    I setakat pegang aje ok lah but kalau nak bermanja2 maybe tak kot :-)

    Ayu,
    itu kena bukak buku nursery rhyme balik lah, rasanya ada dlm tu bunyi2 all the farm animals, hahaha

    Mama Noriz,
    memang best kan feeding animals ni. Rasa semacam aje :-)

    Kak Zai,
    anak2 saya kira beruntung sbb Nenek and Atuk duduk kat kampung so every time balik Msia, memang dpt lalui suasana kampung :-)

    Del,
    hehehehe...I am very penggeli occas :-).

    Salam LG,

    Apa bezanye Alpacas dg LLama ye? Kadang2 akak pun tak dapat bezakan. Mungkin beza dari segi size ke.?macam wallabies dg Kanggaros tu ke?
    Seronoknye pergi countryside tu ye LG....

    Kak Arina,
    They are from the same family but like you said ada bnyk differences jugak lah like the size, the coarseness of the hair, the shape of the ears and a few others.
    Mmemang seronok berjalan ke tempat2 yg lain dr yg lain ni :-)
