Ducklings!

Quackers (closest to camera) and Waddlesworth 

Well, we have fourteen eggs in the incubator and are just waiting for that 21st day! However, this past Saturday we went to a swap meet and added a few more additions to the farm. We ending up getting 9 baby chicks and 5 ducklings. Here are a few pictures of the duckies; Waddlesworth, Quackers, Freddy, Daffy, and Donald!

Aren't they cute!?

Trying Some New Things!

About two weeks ago, we started something new! Our cousin had six adult guineas he wanted to give us, so he could make space for some ducks he was getting. We said sure bring them over! At first we didn't know what to think. However, after a few days we have come to see they are wonderful! They eat all kinds of bugs and snakes. They also move so quick, making a few laps around the farm each day. The guineas are also great watch birds, squawking when someone enters the yard.

In the next few weeks we are going to be trying another new thing... yesterday while at Tractor Supply we bought an egg incubator and automatic turner. So we are going to give that a try and keep you updated on how it works out for us!

Wish us luck!

Already?

It's already November and we haven't blogged for almost two whole months! Not much has happened around here.. just the usual school and work. Sage and the baby chicks are growing like weeds and everything has been picked from the garden. Not much else!

 Isn't he big?!? 

The Tomato Guardian

 We made up a quick scarecrow, to guard the tomatoes. Made from some old clothes and other things, she came to life...

Isn't she just darling?

No More!

Remember last year.. when the raccoons came, while we were on vacation? Well, if you don't they ate our whole little cornfield! Well, not this year! We finally gave in, bought, and put up an electric fence. We tried the music thing, with no luck. But, NO more coons! Now, don't worry too much, it will not kill any of them... just give them a little zap! 

I look so cute and I love sweetcorn! 

Some Chick Pictures

 Sooo cute.. and they know it!

 They were being a little camera shy! We will get more pictures later..

These are just some pictures! When we move them to their bigger quarters next week, more pictures will come! They are so darn cute though. There are seven of them... but, some were under Momma Rosie. She is such a great mother! 

Have a Great Weekend!! 

We Now Have...

7 little baby chicks! Whoo! Pictures are still to come, promise!
