First-time mom and triplets

Brownie the Nubian had her babies today. All three were chocolate with frosted ears. So far, two have survived. Here's a pic of the second, a small doe.

Baby Aster

Hopefully, the little buck will make it and I'll take good pics of both of them after work today.

I am taking a hint from Eden Hills Farm and am naming kids by the alphabet. Sounds like a wonderful way of keeping up with ages, etc. With that being said, this little doe will be Aster. Her brother, Abe.

Welcoming new animals!

Here are better pics of Maybelle, Penelope and two of the bunnies...

New on the Farm

This weekend, we welcome five new animals to our farm. Sorry these pics are so dark. I spent a couple of hours with Daddy, feeding the cows and horses. I guess the sunlight just got away from me.

Penelope and Maybelle came to us from Crestview.

 I bought three Californian bunnies at the feed store on Sunday. They are absolutely precious. Appears to be a male and two females.

Oops! I forgot about the two splash hens and partridge silkie hen.  :)

Turkens!!!

Many thanks to my dear friend, Gina King, for picking up my Turkens. I am now the proud owner of two roosters and five hens. They are lovely birds. I'm starting to think I'd rather have an entire flock of them. So nice to have birds (Turkens and Dominiques) who aren't aggressive. After those mean Rhode Island Reds I had the first year, I promised myself I'd never have another mean bird.

Never say never...

I have a phobia of all things rodent. I put all this aside when I saw a beautiful mini Rex at the sale yesterday. So precious and soooo soft. I brought him home is a small wooden box. Sydney had no idea what I'd bought and was anxious to see the "chicks."  When she realized I had a rabbit for her, she was speechless. After mini squeals, oohs and ahs, she jumped up and squeezed me tight. He is very sweet. Tiger the cat likes him a little too much, though.
