16 baby chickens!

 

Early this morning mom got a phone call from the post office, telling us the chicks have arrived and were ready to be picked up! So she and dad drove right over and got the box! All sixteen of them made it safely and they were cheeping so loudly. 
We immediately put them in their temporary house and they got warmed up and began to eat and drink. We got fifteen female Rhode Island Reds and one rooster, though we are not sure on the type yet. 

They are sooooo tiny and adorable! They fit in your hand, and are so warm and soft. 
And of course we cant forget about the ducks! Mrs.Wimpy dimple, Flippy Floppy and Wobbles are getting so big! They are already sticking there heads out of there house, but they haven't started quacking yet!

Also, in case you were wondering, we have came up with a few chicken names but not all of them yet. So far we are sure the roosters name will be Chicken- Licken. And we have come up with a few more ideas, but none of them stuck because its so hard  to tell them apart! 

Thanks for reading!

Today we get pigs

After lunch today, we're driving a few hours to pick up the pigs. We're getting two Berkshire crosses today and one Kune-Kune on Sunday from a different place.  Dad has built the training pen behind the stove, you can see on the right there's the water and the far left is their house.  And, of course, Scotty named the two pigs,  Bop and Bonk 😂 Can anyone guess what those names are from?

The aftermath of the storm

The storm wasn't as bad as the weather Channel said, but there was still quite a bit of rain and wind. No tornadoes or thunder. A lot of branches and pinecones fell and some of the pathways were flooded. But no serious damage! Now we have a lot to clean up after the next storm on Friday 😄

A tour around our house!

Here is a tour of our house! We will start with the outside. This is the front porch/sitting area. And this is our dining area in the kitchen. Cant forget this dramatic picture of the chandelier!  And here is the view off our back deck! The play structure has Scotty's shelter on it.  Now an update on the pets! Lucy is doing great! She has been going on walks every morning and night without getting scared. She even goes out onto the dock with us sometimes. And occasionally she will chase squirrels around the yard! She is getting more comfortable with the ducks, but doesn't like to sniff them because one bit her nose! But other than that, she loves it out here.  Tea and Crumpets are also doing good. Just being guinea pigs. We have let them play outside in a cage and they loved it! They also get to play around my room sometimes too.  Finally we have Pickles and Sapphire. They too, are doing good. They are still crazy loud and messy. But they are happy.  The ducklin...
