We are sooo sad...... Friday morning we woke up to All 12 chicks had been eaten during the night.

Friday night we had our other chicks in a different cage thinking they would be safe and same thing 4 out of our five that we had left got ate too. :o( So the one that didn't get ate we names LUCKY.

Today we went on a mission to get more peeps! We bought 10 more, and plan to fatten them up and in 6 weeks butcher them and can them. 

We also got more wire and stuff to make another chicken tractor, but a different kind and we got it about half way done, so far it looks like it will be a better one then the last one we made! Instead of a wooden one we are useing PVC pipes so it will be lighter weight and taller and more handy to change the water.

We also decided to try hatching our own peeps with BIG RED the rooster and Bluey,&BB's (the hens) eggs. So we bought an incabater. We think it will be fun to watch and learn for the children ( and we'll enjoy it too!)

I think it may be getting dry enough to work up our garden!! wooo- hoooo!! Today we got us some strawberry plants, and more onions. We love watching our garden grow. It always amazes me that you plant a tiny little seed and you get a new plant and fruit from it what a blessing!! I don't think we have much of a green thumb, the plants that we are trying to start inside don't look real good. But maybe we'll get something from it.

Our baby is 11 weeks today! She is getting so fun! She is giving us some coo's and laughs and lots of smiles. She also really don't want put down for to long, that makes her cry. Most of the time it don't matter we have time :o)

Does any one know if baby goats get bloated easy? One of our baby goats looks like it has a bigger tummy and We really don't know what bloat looks like or what it's from. Any tips would help.

Have a wonderful weekend, Kim
