Living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley And learning to go back to some of the old ways of living off the land like I did as a kid.

Chicks and kittens
Mama chicken Sweetie and her 3 chicks are now enjoying the outside in their own little coop and pen until they can be let out with the big girls in a few weeks. They are getting so big at 2 weeks and 2 days old. And their mama don't want any one or any thing near them, I am hoping they all turn out to be hens.
Over the past weekend 2 kittens came inside to learn to be inside house cats. We ended up keeping the black kitten and not the 1 we first picked out. Every time we went out to the shed to water & feed mama kitty & the kittens the black one was first to greet us and follow us around. I think he picked us. The little gray girl is going to live with a friend in a few weeks, until then she will be hanging out with her brother and us. It has been interesting with kittens in the house, they are into everything and learn they are not aloud to climb up our legs. Little claws are sharp. Ouch !!!

I love all the pictures, Charlotte. The chicks are so cute! I love their coloring. And the kittens are getting so big - the last picture of the food dish is just way too adorable! What did you name the black kitty you're keeping?
ReplyDeletePenny, the chicks are so cute and their wing feathers are coming out pretty good now. The kittens love Bob'O's water dish,to drink or play in they just can't seem to get enough of it. Still the same name I was calling both boys Barny and the girls Little Bit. Mostly I called them all BB for barn babies. But T. said no BB. lol
