Hello Farm Friends

We thought it would be fun in this issue of EggsPress to share some very interesting facts about the month of June and about our wonderful Flamig Farm animals. So read on and say, "Wow, I didn't know that," and maybe have some fun sharing these surprising facts with family and friends.

And for sure, stop by the farm and see for yourself the truth about our fun facts by meeting the animals. Go ahead, ask them yourself. 🙃

See you soon,

Farmers, Julie, Nevin, Chadam and Pete

PS Ricky, our Flamig Farm Emu says,

"I'm serious, these fun facts are absolutely true!"

3 wow-factor goat facts...

Baby goats (kids) are standing and taking their first steps within minutes of being born.Each kid has a unique call, and along with its scent, that is how its mother recognizes it from birth – not by sight.
Goats are burpers! This is due to the design of their stomachs. One part, the rumen, holds four to five gallons of plant material, breaks down cellulose and acts as a fermentation vat. Of course, fermentation produces gas, and this gas escapes in the form of loud, healthy burps. Our goats can frequently be heard burping in the barn.
Goats’ pupils (like many hooved animals) are rectangular. This gives them vision for 320 to 340 degrees (compared to humans with 160-210) around them without having to move and they are thought to have excellent night vision.

3 coolest horse facts...

Horses have bigger eyes than any other mammal that lives on land.
Horses gallop at around 27 mph. The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 55 mph.
When horses look like they’re laughing, they’re actually engaging in a special nose-enhancing technique known as “flehmen,” to determine whether a smell is good or bad

3 eye-popping chicken facts...

Chickens can distinguish between more than 100 faces of their own species. Looks like elephants aren’t the only ones who have a great memory.
Chickens have full-color vision—no color-blindness here!
In 2018, there was a report from the United Kingdom about a couple working in the egg industry finding four yolks in one egg. They estimated the odds at one in 11 billion, though there was no data to back that up, according to media accounts at the time.

And now for June

June is a time of extremes. Since we live in the northern hemisphere, June is a time when summer is really starting to get into full swing! Every day past the vernal (spring) equinox lasts just that little bit longer, making breezy summer evenings a real treat. The summer solstice (when daylight hours match darkness hours) is in June.

If you live in the southern hemisphere though, then June is a time when winter starts to set in. The days are shortening, and the nights are becoming fresher and fresher.

Here's a good diagram of how this daylight thing works.

Please come see us soon. The Farm is in full swing!
