Meow and cheek, cheeck chicks!

Uncle Eric has hatched us a bunch of chicks!! The kids absolutely love playing with them. I love watching them. This past weekend we set up our coop to have the chicks in it, instead of in the house. It was becoming very tiring for me to have 10 cats inside plus 15 baby chicks. Now that the chicks are outside we have lost a few but we still have 13 and the first batch have doubled in size since these pics. We are having a blast with all these new critters!






You will notice in some pics my boys are shirtless.. They all like their shirts off. Sometimes I don't even fight it and they run around shirtless.



My niece Riley is currently hatching 48 chicks on her own she plans on selling them. She has taught me more about the chickens then most books! I love this sweet face of hers, she is a doll!
These are Poker # 1 baby chicks so we are hoping one is a rooster!

Mama cat Nibbles had 5 Kitties on May 1st! There is a girl kitty that is all white and we possibly think she is an Albino kitty. Yesterday Ayden named her Lily. I asked him why Lily and he said, "I just think it's a pretty name". I thought it was neat because Lillie's(flower) are white :)
Mama cat Twix had 4 babies and one that we named Stripes didn't make it. Twix is Nibbles Mom and these are the two of the cats that have survived after we brought home 4 cats originally. Twix had Nibbles, Thunder and Freckles. After letting Thunder and Freckles outside Nibbles is the only kitten that survived from Twix's first litter.

I love watching your farm grow!!!!! So sorry to hear about the losses though. Guess that will take some getting used to.
