Just for you!
Close your eyes (if you like) and just listen (if you want to). These are the sounds in the barn yesterday in the middle of the morning. I left my phone on record and went off to hang out the washing. So there is no-one in the barn but you and the animals. I think you will be surprised at the cacophony.
Today is just for listening. During this recording you will hear your wee goats. The chickens, roosters. Earlier are the kunekune, later it is Poppy. A truck drives up and stops (Our John). You will even the sounds of Godot gently looking for his girls. And the birds. Always the birds.
A new frontier… thank you to Charlotte from Milan who suggested this.
I look forward to doing this again. It is a totally new experience for us isn’t it? Something for us to explore. We certainly have made a big leap across the divide. Do you like it? or would you rather that the sounds were only in your imagination.
Today Our John starts back at work. So now we UP the ANTE – as I will be taking over the plants as well. New eggs are in the incubator and today Jake and I get all the materials for him and his team to make the new chicken (and turkey) tractors. He has a plan.
Have a lovely day,
Your friend on the farm,

Celi – thank you so much for an unanticipated REAL visit to the farmy. . . . honestly I am not a crybaby but have had to reach for a tissue! Greedily ‘yes, please, again’ . . . when you get the chance . . . and aren’t those little goat babies making a difference!! Celi – you allow us to be THERE wherever we are in the world!!!!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this audio – Living in the city of Carlsbad, Ca – we have mostly birds and barking dogs! Love the little goats and the clucking of the chickens. It’s all so very pastoral and lovely.
Wow; what a great resource for me teaching in Eastern Arnhem Land, where not a local soul has seen, or heard, 95% of the animals I can hear in that farm yard scene. So many children’s books are set on a farm or in a barn, but alas these kids have no experiences of anything other than malnourished camp dogs and bulagi (buffalo) – oh and of course salt water crocs! Not about to source any sound bites of those monsters any time soon! luv ya cuz x
Come-one Cuz! Stick a microphone to the mouths (jaws”) of the crocs! get some “Sound Bites” – then RUN!!! c
full of all the good ideas, aren’t you lovey!!
Remember to run! No gumboots! Running Boots!
This is fantastic!! Thank you so much Celi! ❤
Love, love, LOVE the little oinkers! … And Godot! What a beautiful gentleman … And those baby goats *sigh* I will have this on loop for relaxation time tonight 🙂
Celi, now that I got it to work I love it! I hope you will do it again soon!
What a lovely chorus, everybody is chiming in.
Just loved it. Closed my eyes and thought of all your lovely pictures and just like that, they are making the sounds! A true delight. Thank you. I may go out to the pig barn and try it myself!
Oh yes, lets hear your pigs!
A symphony, loud but somehow soothing at the same time. Love the goats!
they are loud in the morning aren’t they. Next i will do late afternoon..c
Perfect! I loved it!!
I loved this idea! And you have some noisy barn – ‘ain’t it lovely”?? I esp. liked hearing the baby goats !!
I cant’ relay to you how much I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Thank you Celi! it made me smile this late at night on my way to bed! Love and hugs.
Went through 4 web browsers and it wouldn’t play for me. Was there a time limit? Please do a CD. Maybe you could offer it to help feed Sheila and Poppy, Hazel and Freya, Lady A and Elsie during the next winter. I’d love to have it.
Listened to this early this morning — what a lovely surprise for my birthday! I remember the noise well — thank you for sharing it. The baby goats — brought tears to my eyes as I was the one who bottle fed the orphans and extras (if mama goat had 3 kids and one was getting shorted on food). Thanks for the trip “home” without ever leaving my apartment.
Happy birthday!! c
Loved hearing this! We had an intercom hooked up in the barn so I could hear what was happening while I was in the kitchen. Mostly used it when the goats were ready to kid so I could hear the mom when she was in labor. Guess you can be thankful you don’t have guineas… their calls would overwhelm everyone else!
we do have guineas, just not the loud version I guess.. I would like an intercom too, maybe one day.. c
Intercom? Barncam!?! 😉
LOVE this!! DO keep crossing the divide. What an amazing way to bring your barn right to my ears!
