We have added three ducklings to our farm this week! These little guys are so cute, of course I think all animals are cute though! The ducks are about 4 weeks old so they are still a little fuzzy, but most of their feathers are already in. They still need a heat lamp on them because they can't keep warm until all their feathers come in. When all their feathers come in they rub an oil all over them from their preen gland to make the feathers waterproof and to help protect them from cold Read More... [Continue Reading]
Life and Death
My cat, Spunky, is a precious long haired mixed cat and she was dumped one the side of the road when she was around one week old. My sister's friend was fortunate enough to find her beside the road and bring her to my sister's house.

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs

You see when Summer comes around they slow down their egg production a little bit because of the heat. Then in the Fall they slow down a little bit more and by time Spring comes back around you are like WOW I have forgotten how many eggs they can produce! We have chickens for several reasons, but one of them is Read More... [Continue Reading]
Gotta Start Somewhere
Well, I'm just going to start off by saying thanks for visiting my blog! I'm very excited about starting this next chapter of my life! I have so much to say, but I'm not completely sure where I should start. You gotta start somewhere though. So, first off I would like to let you know how much I love animals. I really think that the reason I love them so much is because of my zodiac sign. I'm a Sagittarius, you know the centaur, but most importantly half human/half animal! How could I not Read More...
