Goats
Our seven goats are the welcome committee. They are gentle, curious and very good at finding the feed cup in your hand.
Meet the animals
Our animals
38 animals live at Red Brick Ranch: 7 goats, sheep and lambs, 2 cows, 2 ponies, 2 mini pigs, 3 emus and 20 ducks and Silkie chickens. Here is who you will meet.
Sheep
Soft, woolly and calm. Spring lambs are the highlight of the early season.
Cows
Two gentle cows, including a young calf. Visitors can pet them over the fence with a keeper close by.

Ponies
Two friendly ponies to meet and brush. Pony rides are not offered in our first season.
Mini pigs
Two spotted mini pigs who love a belly scratch and will tell you loudly when it is snack time.
Emus
Three emus, the tallest residents on the ranch. Emus are the second-largest bird in the world and they make a deep drumming sound.
Ducks
White Pekin ducks and a crested duck with a fluffy hat of feathers. They waddle, they quack, and they will follow the feed.
Silkie chickens
Silkies have feathers that feel like fur. They are calm enough for small hands to hold with a keeper's help.
Feeding and petting rules
- Use only the ranch feed cups. Outside food can make our animals sick.
- Hold feed in a flat, open hand.
- Pet gently on the back and neck. Please don't chase the birds.
- Keepers are always nearby and happy to help small children.
- Wash your hands at the stations when you leave each area.
Fun facts for kids
- Goats have rectangle-shaped pupils, which help them see almost all the way around.
- Emus can't walk backwards.
- Silkie chickens have black skin and five toes on each foot.
- A sheep's wool keeps growing all year, so they get a haircut every spring.
- Pigs are one of the smartest animals on the farm.
