Our little farm has been
growing again.
Our best brooder hatched
out one chick a couple weeks ago, and then a week later, adopted nine
chicks that we hatched in an incubator. Surprised us that she took
them in so easily, but it makes it so much easier for us to take care
of the chicks.
Then last week, we had
another hen hatch out four more chicks (she hatched three earlier
this spring). We're up seventeen chicks this year and we added a
beautiful Black Copper Maran rooster.
The third of our goats had
her kid.
That birth was another
first for me. Baby decided to come out nose first instead of feet
first, so I had to help mama birth the shoulders.
We have one more mama goat
waiting to give birth. In one year our little herd of three goats
has grown to nine!
Our rabbits continue to
give us cute little babies. We're waiting on two of them to have
kits right now.
I wish I could say that
our garden was growing as well as our animals, but I can't. With all
the rain we've been getting, the garden is soaked. The plants
haven't been washed away, but they haven't been growing as quickly as
they should. Hopefully we'll dry out soon =)
