Blessed with a beautiful wife, an awesome little mirror image, and another on the way!

Protector of...

- Nearly 3 dozen ISA Brown pullets

- 4 misc. (haha) Bantys......2 male, 2 female

I believe no more will be put on a person than what The Lord knows they can handle. Prayer is greater than stress.

WARNING: CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!

Here are a few photos of our 11 chicks: a combination of BSL, BOE, BLRW and Toppy's Eggs. With 2 mamas, these chicks are doing VERY well - even if I have to corner them to take a photo because they are afraid of the horrid monster that follows them around.

My handsome rooster (I just LOVE this guy...although I am biased, I think he's real handsome!!) Notice one of the mamas giving me the EYE because I was cornering her chicks to get a photo...Jeremy stepped in to see if he needed to "handle" the situation.

Another few chicks that were not in the run, cornered!!

So...this concludes the cuteness chick overload...I hope you enjoyed our show!! HeHe.

On a completely unrelated note....I am saddened to report that DD1 takes after her mother more than I care to admit...just found her entire leg covered in poison ivy today...she had just a bit on her face yesterday. Praying that she doesn't end up all puffed up and forced to do steroid shots like I had. Definitely rethinking the NEED for a goat, since they LOVE poison ivy... Poor girl!! So...who out there has goats and what do I need to know about them?? LOL and can goats and sheep live together peacefully??

I'm a SAHM happily married to the man of my dreams with two DD (another due 7/2013), 1 cat, 3 Marans, 1 Misc. Rooster (Tyrone); 4 Ducks (Cadbury and his girls), 8 assorted pullets, 5 babies and MORE chicken math to come.

soda bottles of ice... leave the cap off, they will drink the icey water. Also frozen Veges & fruit. I sliced up bunch of squash, watermelon, pumpkin and I put it out and the birds go crazy !!
