JUST ENJOYING LIFE!!!!

     Just enjoying life!!!  That's what we are doing. Even while working.  We had been putting up the stock fence around the property and have been teaching Fred To ride the tractor with us.  He is not to sure about it now. But hopefully he will come to like riding the tractor with Brent. We only have the north side of the property to finish putting up the stock fence and then it will be all fenced in.

     My flower gardens are taking off slow, but that is because must of what I planted is bulbs and seeds.  But finally starting to see some color.

     The grow outs that are in the outside yard are having so much fun. We have had to put rocks in some places where they had started digging around the fence.  They have started digging in the middle of the yard which for now is ok.  There are no males out there so no chance of  babies.  They have dug at least 2 holes that are getting kinda deep.  Most of them are being dug under all the greens that have been planted for them.  

One of the holes.

This is what it looks like out there now. Some almost knee high.

Find the chocolate bunny!

I had to get down and move greens to find this one.

     We finally have our first hen that has gone Broody.  She is one of our Buffs.  Started with 8 eggs, but her or another hen broke 2,  She is now in her own room so that no one else can get on her nest .  Also the other day I went into the hen house and found a Guinea on a nest. Later I went out to check. There was one egg in that next so I put it under the hen.  We Shall see.

     We have a LOT of Grasshoppers since all the rain.  The ducks are trying to eat all they can.  The Little's go all over the back yard area chasing them up.  They are so cute to watch. Got a cute pic of the older ducks today.  We now have our Ducks in a Row!

      We have also been letting the rest of the birds out to free range in the afternoons to help with all the bugs.  The hens are been upping the egg count now. We get between 15-20 eggs most days.

The Little's and the chickens and turkeys out eating bugs.

More free range time.

     Here is the new breed we are raising . This is our Cadbury Chicken Billy.  The Ranches Mascot.  He runs the chicken yard and sleeps with the chickens at night.  He was a runt and so is not very big .  He is a boy so cant be with the others. He is having a grand time.  

Until next week!!  Y'all have a great week!

New Note!!!!
Yesterday afternoon we had a storm roll thru which brought high winds and lots of rain.  We have a lot of low places here and when it rains , it floods.  The chickens, Turkeys and Guineas where caught out in it and had to go rescue them.  That was no fun. Had I not gone out some of them may have drowned.  So far today everyone looks ok.
