Babies and more babies

I sure hope these animals know what they are doing and that we have a nice mild fall.
In the last 2 weeks we have had 3 sets of turkeys born, one mom has now lost her 5 but we have one in a coop with 3 bourbon red babies, another bourbon red running free with her two. Then a couple days ago I find a welsh harlequin duck with her brood of 8 babies (of course they could be any breed or any mix of breeds since everyone is running free now). And then yesterday my muscovy hen comes off with 12 ducklings... We still have 1 turkey unaccounted for so probably on a nest, 1 turkey nesting in one of our travel crates in the tack shed, and another muscovy trying to set.

Then yesterday moving bales we found momma kitty's babies, she had them while we were in Cranbrook so they are about 2 weeks old now, eyes open and cute as can be. Luck for momma she had them tucked under a straw bale which we never had to move out of the bale yard, so all is well and they are getting a lot of kids attentions now.

So here is hoping for a mild fall till everyone is feathered out and strong enough for a cold spell.

ohhh! Kittens....looks like we might have lost Dodgers. He has been missing for 36 hours now. We heard a nasty kerfuffle early yesterday am. I am afraid he is gone now. Maybe yours will be ready to go in about a month Hidden. I may need 2......oh and muscovie babies! I def need several of those. Looks like we need to make a trip

Found Dodgers late last might....up about 45feet in neighbors tree. Dogs treed him. He came down early this am. Another life used. Won't need kittens so don't show tbem to me lol!

I love unexpected surprises! There seems to be late babies popping up everywhere. We have had a nice little surprise here too!

One of my girls went missing last week and I was quite upset as we had some issues with our dogs eating chickens awhile back I thought they had gotten her. Yesterday she was at the coop when I came out!! Woo hoo! I watched her slip through a crack in the barn door and sure enough she is on 13 eggs

Well glad Dodge is ok, he is such a sweet boy, just the luck of outside cats I guess. Amy's cat Lexi is always getting beat up, but we nurse her back to health and she hangs out in their play house, then something goes after her again. Hopefully Dodge will stay safe for you now.

Any muscovy babies yes come on out! We have 12 now, but with this fox or coyote coming in lately not sure if I will leave them with mom or put them in a brooder, will have to see...

Oh grab those babies up....I will come out to get them. I would love 8 of them. Sent you an email
