Cuteness Overload

 I am the crazy chicken lady. I am down to 8 laying hens and 1 rooster. 

Its spring! Time for babies! I purchased six chicks and 1 duck. 

Why one duck? I wanted a few ducks but at Tractor Supply they had only ONE duckling! 

It was in a bin all alone so I got him and Im pretty sure hes going to grow up thinking hes a chicken.  His name is Dexter. (we really dont know if its a he or a she)

Dexter is going to be one spoiled duck!

Lucky Snow

 Here in the South we dont get a lot of snow. In the past few days we have gotten about 10 inches! 

Lucky loved eating and playing in the snow!

 He's so cute, and getting so big!

 He's also chewing up everything in site! Like my new shoes, the base boards and more! 

Not sure Ill survive the puppy stage!

 He had a lot of fun in the snow with my girls.

(and the other dogs)

Rescuing Lucky Bear

 Lucky Bear isnt so little anymore. He is bigger than our Dachshunds!

 The Vet was surprised that he was 9.6 lbs at 8 weeks old! He is going to be a big boy!

 We Love him so much, but I.m not loving the fact that he chewed up my new shoes!

Remember when he was tiny?

Just 8 weeks ago?

This Week I .....

 This week I sold my Americana rooster. I have loved watching him grow up and was sad to say goodbye but when my little friend's chicken turned out to be a rooster, it was a bad combo (to have two roosters) so we sent him to a new home.

 This week I watched Lucky Bear grow more! At 7 weeks old he is about 7 lbs.

This week I applied for part time jobs to help with expenses and to help get me through the summer. (no interviews yet)

This weekend I rested a lot. My immune system has been working hard these last few months in the new job. This weekend Ive been finishing up the Dexter series on Netflix and catching up on blog reading.

Growing Lucky

 Our little Lucky Bear is growing quickly. Look how sweet his big eyes are!

 And he loves to sleep on his back!

 He is one month old now. He loves his bottle but we are beginning the weaning process. He now gets a big spoon full of mushed puppy food and milk in the mornings.

He loves to play with his little friend the hedge hog.  See how big he is next to his little friend? Now look how big (little) he was the day we got him and his hedge hog.
