Bird'S Backyard

This little thumper decided to ditch the nest and hang out with Mama this morning. Cuteness overload!!!! 💗🐇

The kits are growing fast!! They now have fur and their eyes are starting to open ❤

Chicken snuggles on the swing 😊

The new greenhouse was a big project, but it's all done now!!!! Next project.....fill it up with plants!!!

These beautiful feather babies went to their new mama's house today. The incubator is now empty again 🤔

Babies, babies and more babies!!! I checked the nests this morning and Precious actually has 10 little kits! Charmin kindled last night and has 6 very fat kits! I'm hoping they will be great mom's and we will have a high survival rate 🐇🐰🐇🐰

Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful mamas out there!!! We've been busy around here, prepping gardens and building the new greenhouse. Today is a very busy and special though because not only do I have chicks hatching today, but also Precious and Charmin are due today!!! Precious kindled last night and has 9 healthy little kits and we are still waiting on Charmin. 🐣🐇💗💗💗

Set a custom hatch of silkie eggs for someone this morning! Added a few of my eggs to fill the tray and make sure my roo is doing his job. Can't wait for hatch day, I love silkie chicks 💗🐣

3 weeks old and the award for cutest ugly stage goes to Five Toes!! The sizzle bantam 🤣 look at the curl on those feathers!

When I bought the Buck Hut, to strip down and remodel, it came with a free gift. This is Bun-Bun. Jordyn is raising him as a pet since he doesn't fit into my breeding plan. He has quite the personality and is shockingly very friendly. So far he's made a great house bunny!

🐇I'd like to introduce you to my new breeding trio of standard Rex rabbits🐰 I'm so excited to be starting this new adventure!!!

Over Easter break I've been working on some big projects. We're adding rabbits to the farm!!! 🐇🐰💖 Hutches are all set up except for shingles and paint which will have to wait for some warmer weather. Picking up my breeding trio tomorrow!

Our brooder cage looks a little different this time around. A few weeks ago I read this very informative article about a Mama heatpad brooder. It's considered a more natural way to brood your little fluffs. Since young kids and heat lamps aren't a good combo (we are now sporting a nice melted area on our rug in front of the brooder 😢) I wanted to try this alternative. Brooder heaters are expensive but this one is budget friendly and simple to make. The chicks are loving it so far and so are we! If you want to check it out the link is 👇

She now owns a little bantam flock!!! She's so happy!! 15 of her eggs went into lockdown and 14 chicks hatched 🐣🐤🐥

And then there was 10!! More are still hatching 💖🐣

Tiny little bantam baby #1 is here 🐣 It's so little! I can't wait for the rest to hatch so we can take them out and snuggle them 💖

Lexi's new flock of bantams is starting to hatch!!! She doesn't know about it either 😂 the pip didn't happen until after she left for school. She's going to be so excited!
