Recent Happenings

Just some pics and stuff that's been going on around the house lately...

Veronica enjoying some sunshine a couple weeks ago.

Zack posing for the "Zack's Lawn Care" flyer we made.

Francesca's got the hang of her bike now!

Some cute pics of Fresca last week before heading to church.

That afternoon we got some pizzas from "Happy Pizza" and had a picnic at the park.

The boys discovered they can ride Dad's bike.

Francesca enjoys sink time.

The camera lens got foggy, nice effect!

Zack's way of having fun with his little sister.

Getting acquainted with our new beefy cows.

Even Buddy is licking his chops already.

Maybe he'll have some raw meat for starters!

(he loves harrassing the animals 40 times his size)

Veronica enjoying some more grub.

Francesca helps out by getting a few drops into her sissy's mouth.

Francesca's been helpful feeding the cat too.

And today... February 20,

we had a little half birthday celebration in honor of Vincent.

Cute Stuff

There's been some cute stuff going on around here this week...

Here's the kitty Vincent got for his birthday. We think its a girl. He named her Socks.

She's pretty frisky and fun!

Walter the Rooster

Well here's our adopted rooster... not exactly what you have in mind when you think of a rooster, is he? We're getting used to each other lately... he doesn't peck me near as much as he used to. A friend of mine that saw him for the first time last week kept asking me,

"what's wrong with him?". Gramps calls him the rooster from the movie Pet Cemetery. He adds a little comical humor to the chicken yard. He's as sweet as can be to our 2 year old hen, Vinny. We'll see how he is with the 3 month olds that I recently introduced to the yard. He did peck at one this morning. Just keeping the teenagers in line I suppose.

Check out Walter's crow... he gets a bit of laryngitis at the end:

Our teeny boppers and fuzzy butts part two

Here are the pics of our teenager chicks. They're probably about 8 weeks old. There are 4 Plymouth Barred Rocks and 2 Cochins.

A glimpse inside our new roosting house. We also have a laying house.

Below are pics of our wee little ones, about a month old.

How does the time fly so fast?

Why did the chicken cross the road when there was a Tonka Truck coming?

Coming soon!!! We adopted a rooster! He's a funny looking guy so the camera will be on him soon.

Meet Our New Chicken!

Buddy Boy is all decked out in his Halloween costume!

Running with the girls!

Super Vince to the rescue!

Who's the queen of this coop?

Lindy isn't standing for this new competition!

Chicken and Eggs Update

We have a second egg source! Vinny is laying now, here she is!

There was also a mystery egg today... perhaps a faulty Zacky egg since we didn't get one from her today. Apparently the shell didn't form.

Our First Egg!!!

This morning I discovered our first egg! I don't know who the mother hen is, either the big white Zacky or petite brown Vinny. Here's Vincent showing off the egg and some updated pics of the girls. I'll have to post a Vinny pic at a later date.

FUZZY BUTTS

These are the chicks when we first got them. They are much bigger and uglier now, especially the yellow one. We also have two black and white chicks now too.
