She continues to be a happy and alert little girl
She loves her toys now!
And her little hands have learned to grab EVERYTHING!

farm life
Our yard is becoming a zoo!
The goose, tom turkey, and male duck have bonded while the female turkeys and female ducks have been laying on eggs or carrying for their young.
She has roughly 14 ducklings. Another duck has several, but not sure how many are left.
This turkey was trying to lay on eggs, but we had pulled them for the incubator. Shawn put chicken eggs under her and she hatched them. She didn't do a great job at caring for them, so we had to take the last few remaining from her.

Shawn is currently working on fencing and hoping to get more pasture as we seem to need it BADLY!
This weekend, we also had 2 of the 3 pigs give birth. I'm not sure how pigs haven't become extinct based on how the mothers care for the little piglets. They have killed a few already - they stand on them, lay on them..... We currently have 15 piglets remaining and another pig is due anytime now!
In the garage, we have a tub with baby quayle, pheasant, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Outside in a cage we have baby geese and ducks. Running around we have 2 ducks with their babies. It is really a ZOO at our house - and we LOVE IT!
