Homesteading with children

• Sunday, April 13, 2008 - Homestead babies!!!!

Oh my I'm tired! A good tired!! Last night I got up twice with the baby Kitten Smoky, and once with Mia. Right when I was drifting off after giving Smoky a bottal at 4:oo a.m. I heard a peep, peep and I jumped up turned on the light and you guessed it our baby chicks are starting to hatch!! I put eggs in every day for abot 6 days, so this week we hope we'll see new peeps each day until they are done!! We didn't know if they were going to do anything, because we had a hard time keeping the temp just right. It's suppose to be at 99* ,but it would go from 80*-104*  we were either cooking them or chilling them so this is a mirical that we even have 2 working their way out!!

Our early garden is starting to pop up!! And we planted our artachokes and asspargus yesterday!!! We have wonderful compost from last year so we are able to get our soil better this year!!! This is so fun homesteading!!

I clippeed one hens wings and put her in the baby goat fence so she can share the fence and I'll see how she does the will add the other two that are in a small chicken tractor. We need to make room for the babies that are hatching!! They got out the other night and messed up my flowers and strawberry plants :o(

My husband Rob planted 5 more fruit trees, and 2 grapevines that we got at the flea market last weekend.

Last night our goat Newbie jumped up on top of her goat hut for the first time to get some leaves. We had a good laugh at her.
