Chick Update...

Welcome to the funny farm! We are currently in the chick raising business! Two weeks ago, we got our first 27 chicks from a hatchery out in Iowa...this is what they looked like that day:


Here they are today, at 17 days old. They are WILD little critters!!


We also took some of Russell and Bernice's eggs (pure Dominique) and Pete's Mom has been hatching them for us in her incubator! We had 7 hatch last week. Today, Pete brought home 5 more! There are 13 more eggs incubating, due in a couple weeks..I can honestly say it has been fun, but we are not setting ANY MORE eggs! LOL...We are gonna have TOO MANY chickens!! We will probably have some extra Dominique roosters to get rid of in a couple months! Here are the Dominique babies:



They will be black and white checked like Russell and Bernice when they get big!

Happy Memorial Day!

NACS FFA Fair 2010

Good Monday Morning! Thought I would share a few pics from last Friday, from the FFA fair. It was a gorgeous day, and very busy. They had a great turnout of visitors, and a huge number of animals..Pigs, goats, rabbits, fowl, cattle, even a miniature horse!
Cody brough Humphrey and Hawkeye for exhibition purposes, and he also brought Buttercup and Skittles, two of my chickens. He got a blue ribbon for his oxen, and the chickens! He was pretty excited. Here is Cody and his friend Dylan with their ribbons.


Humphrey and Hawkeye did not disappoint-they followed every command and did very well showing off at the fair!

They even pulled their tire with a little added weight behind it! LOL

Cody got interviewed for HomeTown Cable-should be on TV shortly..

It was a great day! Thanks to all those special people in our life that made a point to come up to the 'burg and support Cody...it really meant a lot!
Have a great day!

Mother's Day 2010

Guess what??
Turkeys apparently like the snow...Pete finally got one today..

Mom and Cody were less than cooperative with their giggles and blinks today while I was trying to get a cute photo of them...


Fortunately, Cody did a better job with a pic of me and Mom! This one is a scrapbook page, for sure!! Stay tuned!

Back to reality tomorrow!
