We have been waiting, and waiting, and finally 2 more little ones appeared this morning. The Husband found one, maybe 10 minutes old. He went around the side of the barn to fill the water buckets and came back to find number 2. It is always a relief when the birth goes so easily, but also a disappointment to have missed it.
Blossom Dearie is a good mom, staring me down while I am trying to take better pics of her new kids. No names for them yet. The close up is the girl. The buckling is hiding his face looking for milk. Better pics to follow, and more kids too!
The chickens were right outside when I came out. Happy in the shade on the side of the barn. We are toying with the idea of buying 4 more laying hens. That would bring us up to 26, and we are already getting a dozen eggs a day on average. Big Roo (in the middle) says buy as many as you like!
Crazy farmers.
