Guess What??? More babies!!!!

     Yes that's right. There are 2 new litter of bunnies in the Rabbit barn. Annabelle had 3, not sure why. Miss Lorelei had 7. One did not make it.  That puts us up to 21 new babies.  The other 2 groups of babies are jumping in and out of their boxes now and eating moms food now.











     We also have 20 , 3 week old baby ducks. They are the Welsh Harlequins like we already have. So that puts us up to 34 of those and 4 of the Peking ducks.The bigger ducks have been getting in trouble.They have found my fish pond and have been having a blast swimming in it.  That is taken care of. There is wire over it now.

     The field of deer plot is growing so big and is doing great.  I am even a little nervous to just walk out there now.  Yesterday I put my snake boots on that were given to me.  A little bulky but sure felt better. When we let the ducks and chickens out in the mornings that is usually one of the first places they head to.  This morning Brent cut extra when he was cutting for the rabbits to put in the hang up dryer for this winter.

     After I finally got back out in the garden and worked in it last week it sure looks better but the chickens and turkeys also found it and have been eating and scratching.  Now it has a fence all the way around it. So about the only thing I will need to worry about is birds and the occasional rabbit that finds a way in.


     The little Guineas and the 2 baby chickens that had been in the brooder room finally got to come out this week and meet the rest of the flock.  They are very unsure of everyone and all the big open spaces. but they do love to fly and run around.  But once you put down feed everyone is friends.
      In the shop building we put up a wall and made some shelves and it will be our little store room.  The garage is slowly getting more room in it now. There was a time when there was just a few walk spaces.


     This pic was taken when i was driving home one day. It still seems like a dream sometimes when I drive down the road and see it.  We sure love it out here.


Until next week,
The 2 Moore's Ranch

  1. I have to ask...why aren't you sure why Annabelle had 3 babies? Didn't know she was pregnant or why only three? Inquiring minds want to know!
    I can't wait for my visit the week after next so I can see it all in person. I'm so happy for you and Brent!
