After a couple days, much discussion and a family vote our pigs now have names – Pork Chop and Bacon. Lady, our dog, is pretty interested in them too....too interested. She actually deserves her own post with all her shenanigans!
OUR CHICKS
Bird (Ginny’s pet chicken) you already know – she’s the one who watches TV with her. Well, she had 8 babies last week. Ginny only had to nurse of them back to health. It is always amazing to watch these tiny things work at pecking out of their egg, then lay helpless, tired and wet once they’ve popped out. It takes just a bit for them to dry off, find that they can stand and begin to hunt for food. They are cute, cuddly, and fluffy. Goldie, Chipmunk, yellow beak, Blackie, Lucky and Penguin are some of the names already given. Just now as I posted this picture, I realized that I sometimes feel the way this mama looks....living in a little bitty space with lots of children under toe. However, (unlike me) this mother was not a very good mother and started to pick at her babies, so she had to go out. The chicks had a couple lonely nights until the ducks moved in.
No baby nor chick was harmed in the taking of this photo
OUR DUCKS
A friend had 52 ducks hatch and there was no way she was going to be able to feed all of them. She offered to sell them to us. We should have just said no but instead we decided to invest in our future dinners. We bought 20 ducklings and 1 mother. Can you spot the baby chick in the second picture?
