Spring Babies!!!

 

It is exciting to have spring in the air! Soon the grass will be growing and we can get all the animals out on pasture!

Snoopy is growing up and becoming mischievous!

Timothy talks to a piggy. We are getting some spring clean up done on the farm.

The chicks arrived this week. It’s always exciting to go the post office to pick them up.

So cute…. We dip each beak in water so that they find it the first time. We like to add a bit of apple cider vinegar to the water for the health benefits.  Close watch is kept for the first week or so. If the chicks huddle, they are too cold. Yet, we don’t want them too hot either. Titus was on duty the first day, checking about every hour or so.

The puppies are so much fun and are finding homes. They are a black lab/ blue heeler mix.
