12 Chicks For Three Mama Hens To Care For!

The silkies are terrible mothers if there are eggs to sit on so Sebright mom ended up with 10 of the 12 chicks that hatched. So each silkie has one chick.

Black silkie hen ignored the chicks to hoard eggs.

Mama's n' their Chicks!

First the more pictures of my Show bunnies, then the chicks and their update!

 Last night the moma hens started hatching their chicks, today has been a hatching spree, between three moms 10 chicks have hatched from a total of 25 eggs. Pretty good, and there could be more chicks hatching withing the next few days. I fear the black silkie mom is too aggressive to be a mom, she can't see all that well with her poofy stuff, crest and beard.

Sebright mom, Jangle, hatched all but two of her eggs, she has six of the ten chicks hatched so far.

Cottonball has two chicks.

Black silkie hoarded way too many eggs from the other broodies, but she also has two chicks so far.

UPDATES AS I CHECK ON THEM.

My Bun-Buns are Here! They're Here! The Eggs Hatch Today!

BUN-BUNS!

I picked up this pair of Lionhead rabbits with their cage, feeder, water, hay and pellet feed for $40. I already knew I'd need at least one 4H rabbit to show at the fair this year but they only came with all the stuff if you took them both and they are fantastic bun-buns. They don't like loud noises but they are super tame. They are 12 weeks old and They will be residing in my room when its hot outside and be outside in their cage in the shade when the weather is fair. I love my show rabbits! I've been planning to get a couple since last year and I've wanted a betta for at least two years - Yeah! This week my plans have been in action. The next thing is to get 'Fish' the red betta into my 10GAL tank, but I'm having a hard time getting a filter in Southern Utah without paying full prize, thinking about a sponge though...

Now The Momas!

"I can barley see but I'll peck you, my eggs are hatching!"

"Stay away from the pipping eggs!"

 This is all of them clucking to their babies last night.

Chickens in the run.

Old Pictures Of Chickens I Still Have

From the left: Bottlecap, Jingle, Jangle, Pidge

I'm so glad I kept this rooster, and all of these guys I think I would have cried if I hadn't kept some of flock number 2. But Jingle doesn't look this good anymore, I had him in a pen with a bunch of chickens, he got mangled when the flock had grown to 45. That's way too many chickens for anyone, so avoid that many even when I had the the farm with 3 acres.

Now I've matured as a chicken keeper, being in the partial suburbs and understand when there are too many or how not to keep what hatches. Yeah. Finally I understand, I got blind sited by all the eggs with flock number two. But flock number three, is here to stay and its an exhibition flock.

Chickens & A Surprize

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THOSE DADS.

Surprise comes after the chickens.

The chickens like my garden shoes.

Pictures Taken with DSi camera, low quality.

Yesterday I found a great deal on betta fish supplies so I bought all of the stuff that was left. Today I went to the local petstore and spent $5.30(including tax, reg $4.99) on my first betta fish, my very first pet fish.

Above is the bowl and stuff the night before I got the fish.

My betta is a deep maroon color and likes to make bubbles and seems a little curious for a fish (normal?) he, if its a he, will be an inch away from the glass and just sit there watching you or the dolphin movie set up behind the tank. Maybe he is listening to the ocean sound that comes from it?

Anywho, what's YOUR betta storie(s)? And post pictures of your fish! (my betta was homed with me for a good deal and because he really stood out against all the others)
