Dottie's kids finally arrived
Well, Dottie's kids finally arrived on Friday the 9th, at 11 am and 11:40 am. Two huge boys! Rusty throws some big stout kids! Mom and kids are doing fine. Now the boy/girl ratio is skewed towards the boys again. Out of nine kids, only three are girls. Hopefully the rest will be mostly girls.
I don't seem to be going to get a baby on my birthday like I was hoping to. There is one doe that is getting ready, but I don't think it will happen tonight. I was really hoping I would this year. There are two does that are due now, but nothing is happening yet. Probably tomorrow they will all come and I will be worn out trying to take care of them all. The joys of kidding season! They sure are cute, though. It makes it all worthwhile.
The mama chicken is now setting on 10 eggs, and it's taking two turkey hens to cover all the eggs in their nest. By the end of the month, there will be babies of all kinds everywhere! Springtime is in full force! A fun time of year.
Well, that's all that is happening around here for now....
