Hi Sue, how are you doing these days?

Good morning All! I hope everyone has a great day!

I checked on my hen and she came running to eat some cracked corn with everyone else. I will still keep a close eye on her today!

On another front I thought I would share some wiggly babies! After I checked the chickens I looked in on Daphne! She had 13 kits, I couldn't believe it when I finished counting all of them! And on Labor Day...so fitting! I couldn't get a clear picture they were wiggling so much...lol! So I videoed instead!

That's a whole bunch of babies! I hope Daphne can feed them all...can't say it for a fact but I've read any over 8 can be hard for the mother to nourish. Might want to have a baby bottle ready Rene!

I looked up caterpillars in TN and this is what I came up with!

I know right! She's a purebred NZ, so is the sire! I couldn't believe she had 13!

Um, a caterpillar? Sorry Bob, I can't tell you.

I've been thinking the same thing...I'm a little concerned! I bred Chloe on 8/12, so if she's pregnant, I hope she has a small litter and maybe I can move some in with her, I've heard that can be done!
