All About Chickens....Oh, and Goats...and Rabbits..

Remember 4 weeks ago, I brought these adorable
little baby chicks home, so soft and fuzzy...
all down covered.





Well here they are 2 weeks ago.
They are just beginning to get feathers.
Baby chicks grow so fast!!!



And here they are today...
Now they have more feathers than down.
They should be ready to join the outside chickens
in another week or two.




Speaking of the outdoor chickens,
They have a couple new guards at the
pen entrance.  Love these giant roosters.
So very glad that the weather is nicer and
I can get outside and clean up the winter mess.
Hoping to be adding some flowers to my
Little Mini Farm soon.



Wanted to share this picture too.
I have given my chickens a very spacious chicken barn to live in,
complete with several nesting box areas, but these 3 hens seem to think
there is only 1 spot good enough to lay their eggs.  So every day they fight
for the right to lay their eggs there.  Funny site to see, they will actually
sit on top of each other and lay their eggs!!!!



Here are the 2 baby goats we will add to our backyard
in about 6-8 weeks.  They are twins, not identical, but still twins. 
Can't wait for them to be ready to come live we us.
 
 
 
And here is a new picture of Blackberry.
Hoping to get her bred soon, so we will have some baby rabbits too
 

 
 
Always something new going on at our little mini farm.
 
Love, Love, Love it!!!

I had no idea you had such a menagerie! What pretty little animals. Springtime on the farm looks like fun.

Take care,

I look forward to seeing your Dear Jane again. How far along with it are you? I'm closing in on 40 blocks.

Happy stitching,
