Life...

Lovie's babies are starting to open their eyes and they are all so darn cute!  I could eat them up!! 

Rosey is another story.  All 5 babies made it but barely.  One black one was found in a tote next to the hutches yesterday afternoon because Rosey keeps hopping around the babies at which point they try to latch on and eat then, Rosey would hop away from the nest dragging babies all over the cage.  I am guessing then the little blind black one wondered out the front of the cage and fell off the ledge.  I re-packed additional hay into the cage and hopefully that will do the trick.  Rosey is being so protective when we try to check the babies she will charge at us.  I really wonder if she wouldn't be better off as rabbit stew.  She is so frustrating!!

Now here are more of our eggs.

 

Aren't they beautiful?!  The bottom group includes an eggland best egg so you can see that the eggs are smaller, although they are suppose to be large.  All 3 of these look different but not totally sure who layed them except the middle one on the bottom is Chirpie's.  The lightest colored one on the right was found in the chicken yard last night.  REALLY?  Hours and hours of building the coup, and the nesting boxes not to mention the hours spent cleaning them out so the bedding is nice and comfy for the girls and one of them opted to lay an egg in a hole they dug in the yard.  chickens...

Today I am going to cook the eggs for breakfast burgers and will take photos comparing the insides too. 

Hopefully we can move the turkeys into the chicken yard soon too.  It would be nice to give the turkey girls more space to run around.  They are getting so darn big!

Have a great day!
