baby rabbits

This afternoon we saw that we have baby rabbits living under the chicken house. And they are adorable! To me they look about 5 or 6 weeks old.  Daryl & I saw 2 of them. We aren't sure which of our free range mamas they belong to. They are fat fluffy cutie pies though, mama did great! Just gonna hope they stay safe now that they are older and braver. I do have a cat & my woods are full of animals. Funny....I didn't even know these rabbits existed till this afternoon and now I am worried about them.

Free range hens

So this morning we were worried cause 4 of the free range hens were missing. By the afternoon we spotted them all except a young hen that had slept in the tree last night. If you taste like chicken it is not a good idea to sleep in trees, on the ground or anywhere that is not your coop. Sad, but true :( We plan to raise and keep a 2nd flock of Easter Eggers so they will start laying in Spring. I think that they only lay really well for a few years so soon I will need my backup flock. I really need a larger incubator too. I just don't hatch enough at a time. This batch I have now I plan to keep for myself and not post for sale anywhere. It will be fun to raise a new batch of keepers  ;)
