A BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY

Bubba brought her kids up this weekend to play with us for the next week. She picked a beautiful time to come. The sun was shining and the air was calm and still. It was a perfect day to start our chicken coop! Aces and H worked hard getting the supplies ready and getting a great head start. Here are some pics of their progress...





The day also provided a fun day for all the other kids to run a muck in the back yard. Even Mei got to run around freely. What a joy to watch these crazy cousins all playing together!




The neighbors sheep and lambs were out for some cute pictures as well. We especially loved them when they were nursing. Their little tails wiggle with delight and the mothers look like they would like to be doing anything but what they were doing...those babies really pound them hard! Bubba tried really hard to get them to come to the fence, but they aren't used to people yet. Maybe next time.




Our peeps are growing like mad! The kids are all disappointed with how big they are because they aren't so easy to hold anymore. Their wing feathers are growing in so they really like to flap when held. But we do get a lot of down time for easy viewing and petting.




It's been a fun weekend and I can hardly wait for the week ahead! Hopefully the coop will get finished so these little monsters can get outside...the peeps, not the kids...they already have free reign.
