New Babies

The first of three litters of kittens

arrived over night.  These little cuties belong to Ivy.

There are 5 little fur babies, all look to be

healthy & happy.

 

Two more litters expected over the week or two.

My Backyard Animals

I have added some décor to the Mini Farm.

We have some flowers and a couple handsome

Roosters standing guard and a nice rock path instead

 of mud and muck :)

 

 Above is Miss Bobbie Sue.  There always seems to be one new chick

in each year that is just a little more people friendly than the others

and Bobbie Sue would be this year's new "pet" Chicken.

 

The four above have not been named, but I'm sure

 the grandkids will take care of that very soon!!!

If you remember, we started off with

 9 new chicks this year...well we only have 5 now,

a fox got the other four a couple nights ago :(

 

 Latest pics of our 3 little goats, Spitfire, Ellie Mae, and Darby.

These 3 are quite entertaining I  must say, you just have not

experienced life until you have danced with a goat!!!

Looking forward to the arrival of 3 more new goats,

hopefully our all black will get here this week, and

then our black & white one and cinnamon brown one

should get here sometime in early June.

 

And last, but definitely not least is Ivy.

She is really enjoying the warmer weather and

napping in the shade.  Our other little kitty, Baby

is either off hunting or hiding in the goat pen.

 

I am hoping that everyone gets to spend some time outside.

It has been perfect weather here for about the past week.

Really wish it would stay this way all Spring and Summer.

 

Hugs & Blessings,

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!!!

 



Yes, Spring Is Here!!!

 

The first sign that Spring has arrived to my little corner of the world

would be the delicate little purple flowers in the front flower bed.

 

Second sign of Spring here

 is the tote of baby chicks

in my sewing room!!!

Only 9 new chicks to add to the flock this year.

Cute little things, aren't they?

 

 

 

Have a Great Week!!!

Spring Is Here?????

Well I'm hoping Spring is here...

It is nice enough today that I

was able to hang the laundry out on the line.

First time this year, Love It!!!

Grass is beginning to get some green here and there,

The birds are singing away and some little green flower sprouts

are beginning to show up in the flower bed...and most

important of all - the chickens are laying eggs almost

at full production level, Yes, Yes, Yes.

 

Have a Great Week.

 

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry

Snow Scenes From Around My Town

We ended up with about 8 inches of new snow

from this latest snow event.

Here's what it looks like in my neck of the woods...

 

I would imagine that this is probably our last big snow event for this this season. 

I must say I have enjoyed all the snow, but I'm also ready for Spring and flowers and

 gardening and maybe a few new baby chicks...

 

Have a Blessed week.

Hugs,

Terry
