Shami Goats - For Slaughter Eid Adha 2013 (Ain Musa)

Shami Goats- New Arrivals 

Wow we are excited to have two new additions on the Ain Musa Farm here in South Sinai, Egypt.  They arrived here in January 2012.  The female doe is named Mocca and the male buck's name is Cappuccino. 

Mocca is 9 months old and Cappuccino is about 7 months.  The secret is the Mocca is pregnant and is expected to deliver in July 2012.  We have a secret that we'll tell you in just a moment.

Cappuccino is one shy buck.  He absolutely will not let you come near him unless he knows you.  We're feeding them barseem (clover) with a dry food mixture of crack corn, oats and tibeen.

We haven't set up their area yet so the will be housed in one of our quarantine rooms until their pen are is ready.


The Shami Goats have a excellent reputation for having some very tasty meat (we'll let you know), very lean and not a lot of fat.  The handle the Summer heat here in South Sinai very well.

The Shami bucks can service (mate) with up to 35 females in a herd.  So the ratio is 1 buck for every 30-35 does.   We are seriously thinking about getting this unique breed registered.

The secret is the Mocca is pregnant and is expected to deliver in July 2012.


Here is a wonderful website for Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds.  They are the suppliers for our clover and other wonderful heirloom seeds.  Check them out and see what they have to offer.

It's the Fayoumi Chickens and Mallard Duck day In Ain Musa

Today here in Ain Musa, Egypt we're letting some of the Mallards ducklings hang out with the Fayoumi Chickens.  These two groups seem to get alone fairly well.   The Fayoumi chickens come in a variety of colors, but most of our flock are brown in color and yet they still lay white eggs.


 These Mallard ducklings are about 28 days.  They are non-socialable and afraid of strangers, including us.  Our Muscovy ducks are the complete opposite. Already these Mallards are a hand full, as they run away from you as soon as you approach anywhere near them. 

In case you're wondering the Mallard ducklings above are sterile. They will not produce offspring and are raised only for their meat.  We didn't know that at first, but I have to tell you, they grow very quickly and they will be ready to be slaughtered at 3 months old.
The males are the ones with the black markings on their back.  Females at this point are all yellow.

New Chicks on Board in Ain Musa

Like most people we started our homestead with chickens.  5 to be exact.  We didn't have a whole lot of variety to chose from so we when with a breed known in Egypt as Sasha. They are a much larger breed than the baladi (local) breed in Egypt.  They are meaters and not hormone infested like the famous white breed chicken that you will find in the market for consumption.

Below are a few pictures of our 2nd flock.  We purchased 15 chicks. 




These chicks are a mix breed and come in a variety of different colors.  Here in Egypt most chickens are feed:

1.  Baseem (clover)
2.  Cracked corn.  Used for fattening up the birds and NOT used by everyone.  It is costly so many poor people can not afford to feed their animals/birds corn.

All of our animals are either raised in pens or have a free roaming area for them.  The chickens wings have been clipped (I'll get to a post on how to do it and the reason why later).  However, anyone who has raised chickens know that they are very fast runners. I would even say just a fast, if not faster, than the Road Runner.

One thing that we didn't do and we should have done is when we bring a new flock to the homestead to give them a dose of antibiotics and quarantine them.  We did quarantine them but to be on the safe side we should have medicated them as well.  This is done to protect the animals that you already have as well as treating and taking precautions against diseases that your new animals might have.


Mallard Duck Update.

Here is a 2 week update:  The Mallards have lost their duckling feathers what was that downy yellow color.  We changed their feed to an alfalfa pellet 21% protein and crushed cracked corn and added a little bran moist with water..  These guys love it!  Boy what a difference in less than 2 weeks. 

The below picture is 11 days earlier:

Here is a  picture 11 days later using the new feed:
I would probably say that they have doubled in weight.  From the above picture you can see that they are molting on their backs and the new feathers are coming in.  These Mallards are only 64 days old or just a at 9 weeks.


New Mallard Ducks on the Ain Musa Homestead

New to the Ain Musa Homestead.  11 new Mallard ducks arrived on February 4, 2012.  In the background are the the Muscovy ducks.  We have them in separate pens until the Mallards become bigger.

The Mallards are about 31 days old.  We are feeding them bassem (clover)  and crack corn.  All of our ducks and chickens love the bassem and prefer it over the crack corn.



We are testing the Mallards to see how well they adapt here in South Sinai.
