D”uccle update!

We lost our last baby a week ago, but these three amigos are thriving and growing like weeds!

Spreading their wings and scratching like big birds!

We also had a name change since it’s looking like they are all girls…introducing Katniss, Poppy and Chicken Little (the girl version 🤪).

A first on the ranch this afternoon!

A baby horsey!!!

Penny and baby Jetta are visiting for a couple weeks so momma can get some extra calories. Grateful we can do that for our favorite horse trainer.

The herd gave them quite a show as a welcome! We’re letting momma and baby girl settle in before we put them all together.

Everyone’s all fed and tucked in tonight. Jetta and I are already fast friends. Neck scratches help!

Jetta is currently for sale. Reach out to Ana Bordelon with Heart of Horsemanship for more info.

#4 has joined its siblings!

Katniss, Peta, Chicken Little and, introducing Pippy, are all settling in nicely! Pippy is a feisty little thing! Holding her own and going at her siblings, claiming her space!

We do hope they are all hens🤪. To be continued…

The three amigos are doing well! I’ve got one still in the incubator warming and drying after I helped him this morning. Learning curve of hatching is opening the cover too much. I think I dried out the eggs so the last two had some trouble. I also had multiple eggs from two weeks together so we may only get four to hatch. But we are so very grateful for these that have hatched!!!!

They nap suddenly and in a face plant position. It’s hilarious. I’m praying they don’t kill themselves while sleeping 🫣. Then it’s time to play and see who’s boss! Chicken little ( #3) seems to be taking the lead there!

We’ve got them under the heat lamp 24/7 and they are getting the hang of this eating & drinking thing!

Meet Katniss, Peta, & Chicken Little!

#4 will have its meet and greet at a later date 😜
