Chicks galore!

Okay so I failed with the rabbits. I don't know what happened!  Only 1 doe out of the 3 pulled fur but she didn't have any babies. sigh.  I have another doe due this week, so we will see.  I used 2 different bucks, so I don't know what I did wrong. oh well I guess it is all trial and error. But I wanted baby bunnies!

Moving on....





125 CHICKS!!!

I finally got them yesterday!  They are all so cute and snuggly!  I just want to sit and stare at them for hours!

So right now I have 133 chicks! It is so crazy.

Oh and 3 days ago I got my first duck egg!
I have gotten 5 duck eggs since.  Hoping that they will sit on them and hatch out baby ducks.  If not we may have to put some in the incubator...after we are done with the 55 eggs that are in there now...

I hope at least half of the 55 eggs we have in the bator will hatch, if not I will be mad. But I will try again.

When I was a kid our lazy ducks always laid their eggs in the hen house. Our chickens would always hatch them & raise them. Every year they would flip out when their new baby chick would jump in the pond & go swimming.

I have a hen (a white EE) that just decided to go broody yesterday, thinking about sneaking some duck eggs under her...after I try moving her tomorrow.
