Today 60 little day old layers became a part of our farm, we try and continue to add each year to replace older or lost hens...trying to keep our total at 100 layers.

Also new to our farm this year has been the addition of JuJu Bee, a very small orange tabby. She has been a nice fit with the others but forgot about new kitties and new chicks!

When I entered the house with the peeping box the other cats glanced my way but not much of a reaction...I then heard the sound of what sounded like elephants descending upon me. The small orange tabby had heard the peeps and was on the hunt. She stayed VERY close as I set up the chicks in their new home, watching as I carefully placed each one inside.  As she watched, she circled and "talked" to me or them I'm not sure which. Once the wire was placed over the top and the heat lamp set she jumped on top to peer in at the chicks who didn't seem the least concerned.

Oh JuJu Bee tried her hardest to convince the other household felines how good a McNugget lunch would taste...chattering in her little cat lingo...but the others continued to snooze and ignore her...until our old black and white boy came over...jumped to the top with her and placed his front paw on her head as if to say "we are housecats and we are above this". With that JuJu Bee jumped down and went to lie with the rest, but  everytime I glance over there, she has one eye open....I am sure she is wondering if they would taste better with BBQ sauce or ketchup?
