Farm, Farm, Farmity, Farm...

White Rabbit had babies! 11 babies!! Grey Rabbit had 2.. Grey rabbit's (she was pretty mad today so I didn't do this yet..) babies look like they are going to have pretty awesome coloring! We paired her with Domino this time and there was what looked like a white baby with a few black spots and then another that was not solid colored.

White Rabbit had a few solid dark colored, a few whites, and a few of the awesome looking mottled ones. The Boy counted the bunnies today and figured out that with the babies - we have like either 23 or 25 rabbits now. Compared to 1 year ago we just had the 2 Netherland Dwarf males that I got for free because the lady was done with them and wasn't taking care of them.. That's a lot of bunnies.

Our chicks from our last hatch are doing really well. So far we've only lost 1 of the ones that actually hatched out - and that was due to a very unfortunate drowning accident (fell into the giant big chicken watering bucket and couldn't get out). They're starting to feather some, but the hens are super protective of them.

 This guy is clearly a rooster - and he's only a few weeks old and we can already tell.

 These little ones still have quite a bit of fluff!

This is one of the girl Orpingtons we hatched out from the hatch directly before this last hatch. They are feathering out very nicely. The 2 (the rooster and one of the hens) that had 1 eye each blinded are actually starting to heal and open up a little.  I have to admit I really do like the Orpington temperament a lot. It's very calm, laid back. We can all just go pick them up, pet them, hold them easily. Where as with the dark Cornish we kind of have to chase them down a little and certainly wouldn't want to hold them.

This is the other little Orpington hen we hatched out hatch before last. 

This is the scene from the chicken yard today. It's starting to be fall. This will be the first fall in our house and the kids are somewhat fascinated with how fast the trees are changing colors. I must admit I am *not* looking forward to tending animals in cold, wet, nasty weather. Mostly because I can barely walk some days as it is, it just gets worse in the cold wet. eh. It'll just get warm and then hot again. Stinkin' seasons.
