Our Mixed Flock Journey!

How can you think of them as food...

We are going to try and sell these babies! It will be easier to think of them as food, if food should ever become scarce...that's the reason we got them. Processing them is not my favorite thing to do, but if my family needs food, I can and will be able to do it! We just wanted to be prepared if things got really bad! I hope that makes sense!

Yep. Perfect sense.

We're hoping they open their eyes tomorrow! I bottle fed 4 of them today, they don't drink as much as I would like, but I did get some formula into them!

They're adorable, love how each one is different.

Daphne was being quite aggressive today, she growled and nip my arm! She's tired of her babies being messed with...silly girl, but she's being a good mama! They have really grown, but their eyes are still closed! A couple looked a little skinnier today! The mini nipples are out for delivery and will be here soon! I'm hoping I can get them to take in some formula get them plumped up! If they won't, I will bring in the plumper babies again tonight and give the others a chance to nurse! I will then try to get the ones I bring in to drink some formula!

I took pictures of each one as I fed them so I could know which ones had eaten. They are pretty cute! I need to get a picture of the other ones too!

I was amazed when I got home & saw how much they had grown! They are cute!

It's been kind of fun seeing how big they are. Most of them are still around 45g, but I keep hoping that they'll get bigger. I pretty much just weigh the largest ones now!
