way over due!!!


I am so sorry that I haven't kept up with this blog. Please forgive me y'all. I am going to do 2 today if every thing works right. The first update is on Mamacita and her 5 babies. She hatched 2 in the pet taxi that will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. The next day, Monday, Leroy said that he heard a little chick cheeping, it probably fell out of the nest. So I went to investigate. Well, Mama and 2 babies were in the sinner's box and number 3 was still up high in the nest. So, I took the pet taxi and put it in the sinner's box. Of course, I checked the last 3 eggs and sure enough, I could hear the babies in 2 of them. On Wednesday, baby number 4 hatched. I was worried about number 5, when she got through the shell she was pretty week on Thursday. But if you see them now, I can't tell which should be the runt! We have 5 more babies coming this afternoon from a teacher who hatched them out as a school project. They are just a few days old, so I will have to put them under a heat lamp.

Life on the farm is still exciting.
