I know right?  You see all these precious babies around and they are sooo adorable!  And the joy of watching them grow and so wonderful!  I know I will miss my babies when they get to the age that they dont really need "mommy" any more hit.gif

 

Its going to take soo much effort not to go get more babies!!!! gig.gif

1 Blue JG and 1 Black JG, 1 black Americauna, 1 penciled Americauna, 1 Penciled Rock.  1 Cornish chick, 5 Sussex, 8 mix chicks, and one wild kitty!  

 

10 meaties on the way, 2 red layers and 10 in the incubator.  Chicken Math strikes again! 

 

The Rooster may crow, but it is the Hen that delivers the goods!
