Here is an update on what is going on with our animals. We finally have some good news about how well they are doing. It was getting pretty rough there at times with the animals dying, but things are looking up. God's provision and faithfulness are amazing!
1 momma chicken had 11 babies, Dennis “rescued” the 11th one by helping it out of the shell.
1 momma had 10 babies. They are the tiniest, tiniest cutie little baby chickens you could imagine…and they are all healthy and thriving.
The Momma turkey had 7 healthy and strong babies. The Tom turkey is so excited about his new kids. He attacks Jack whenever he gets within 20 feet of the babies.
The goats are pregnant and one should be delivering any day.
The big momma pig is pregnant and should have a nice litter of piglets in April.
We have 3 hybrid chickens that are laying eggs. We sent them to the incubator because the chickens won’t sit on them. Jack brought them to the incubator place and they just laughed and said they don’t take turkey eggs. When Jack told them they were chicken eggs (just really big chicken eggs) they laughed even more. When Jack told them the momma chickens were ½ native chickens and ½ commercial chickens they laughed even harder…then to top it off they were rolling laughing when Jack informed them that the daddy chicken is a Chinese chicken!
We got a few chickens to eat (they are still alive) and on the way home one laid an egg in the bag, and another one laid an egg 5 minutes after we got home. They continue to lay eggs…so they might get out of the dinner menu just yet.
