Babies Everywhere :)

Cleo's babies are doing wonderful. It looks like we ended up with 3 Augouti, 4 red eye whites and 1 black. This litter is very different from her last litter even though she was put with the same male. I am a bit disappointed that there are no red's in this litter

A couple of days ago we picked up a couple of baby ducks from someone selling them in the parking lot of Tractor Supply. They are Pekings and supposed to be 1 male and 1 female. My daughter is thrilled with them :) our other duck Oreo is also thrilled. She is always talking to them and herding them where she thinks they need to be. The babies have not strayed far from Oreo's side since we bought them.

The Lone Duck

           Meet Oreo our lone duck.At the beginning of the Spring this year the neighbor's 2 Pit-bulls got loose and made their way over to our house where they wiped out our flock of ducks. We ended up losing 6 ducks to the dogs. 
    This morning I was looking at Craigslist and at our local tractor supply there will be someone Saturday selling baby ducks.They are Pekings and I was hoping for Muskovies but baby ducks seem pretty hard to find this year, so Pekings it is.

      
     Meet Bob our California buck. I try to let each of the rabbits have a good 20 to 30 minutes a day of time out of their cage. They have been cooped up the last several days due to nasty weather.Bob is soon to be a first time daddy. I bred him with 2 does a few weeks ago and they are due to kindle on the 9th of this month. Today he is being put with my Rex doe as her litter just turned 4 weeks today.
     My seeds that I bought off of Ebay arrived yesterday. I hope that the rain holds off today so that I can start them. They are herb seeds. I bought White Horehound, Motherwort, Lime Basil, Tri Colour Sage and Bee Balm.They will live in containers for this year as I still have to figure out an area to put my herb garden. I really want it out in the front yard but that is a good ways from the house and I am afraid that it will not get tended to being so far away.
