more MAY

So as I had said before "crazy month of may" well thats for sure. About 2 weeks ago my little Roo Suzy was attacked by a dog who tried to eat him through the fence. Dont worry, I turned into the incredible hulk and saved his little life. He was a bit mangled but he is much better now. Stupid dog. It took a few days of neosporin treatments and some pampering and he was back to normal. I was supposed to be giving this little guy away but I dont know if I will be able to know.


   


On another note, my 2 frizzles and the polish have gone broody! YAY, so we'll see what happens!
And I've also got our homemade incubator up and running so the actions about to start somewhere! My little broody hens where being greatly disturbed in the coop so I decide they needed a maternity ward. And by golly they got one. Some how, im not sure how, but I talked my husband into building one for them. I think he loves them more then he says ;) actually I know he loves them more than he says, who couldnt they are sto stinking cute!













 As for my babies, they are growing like weeds as usual. They follow me around the yard and cheep and peep and get themselves into trouble.





Oh and DONT FORGET about my other babies, the BUNNIES!! They make me squeel and giggle everytime I open their cage to check on them, they are so dang cute! Their eyes are just now opening and their little bodies are so fluffy and cute and furry and soft and I just cant help but squeeze them! I LOVE THEM!

Crazy month of May!!!

My babies (the chicks) are around 9 weeks old give or take a few days I guess they are no longer known as chicks, they are pullets now. So I was literally having an empty nest syndrom moment. and then it happened again. I got 4 more chicks!!! 2 Cochins and 2 polish, and yes they are the cutest things EVER! AND I built my OWN brooder box (quite proud of myself!). I wasnt about to do the bathtub thing again, that was weird. Anyways, Kimi and I came up with some names for our little munchkins. The 2 polish are Thelma Loo, and Louise and the 2 cochins are Darla and Suzy. I love them. and so does Greta! Have you ever met Greta? I dont believe I have ever introduced Greta to you. Shes my new pal, or shadow whatever you want to call it, she follows me everywhere, shes a Glen of Imaal Terrier! and shes MINE.
  Anyways back onto the subject here are my newest babies
And here is an updated picture of my all grown up kids.

But thats not it.
Yesterday Kimi and I were outside, and I went to check on my rabbit, yes I also have a rabbit. Its a long story. So i opened her door to peek in on her and all i could see was fur and naked slimey little bodies EVERYWHERE! Apparently my rabbit decided to give birth yesterday. so now im going to have cute little fuzzy bunnies too giggle over!
This month is not over yet!!! :)
