It is a beautiful morning of blue skies and warm sun. Not sure why it had to get quite so hot later, but that is Arizona!
I went out to do a walk around with the kids this morning, and saw Miss Liberty hiding in the tractor tire sandbox getting ready to leave an egg behind. She has been leaving a pretty green egg here most days lately.
This mama made her first appearance with babies today. She is a beautiful Phoenix, with three babies. They were adorable running around me as I tried to water the greenhouse!
This is the goofy mama who has been raising babies in the doe barn. Strange choice, I know. This pen seems to be her spot for teaching them to run around. She chased Bailey out of it when she was trying to clean yesterday.
Here is Blondie. A week ago, she decided it was time to get serious about having babies like the others, and has been broody! Her roo is taking her protection very seriously. Got the outside of her pen clean, but it looks like it will take a few of us to her her house done, and she is so touchy about not sitting on her eggs if things are moved. Ugh. She is funny!
These are the other two mama, with their babies running in and out of the frame.
Below is an Ameraucauna in the big hen house. She was mad that I had Wyatt pick her up for a quick health check, and he wanted her to lay back down, but she wanted to tell us off! Fussy, fussy...
Well, things are never dull around here. But I guess we like it that way! So we are enjoying have babies around, and getting things set up now that the kids are on Summer break. Have a great day, a beautiful week, and hope to see you at the farmer's market!
