I dont know if I have mentioned this, but I moved the small pool onto the front porch so Bella can play in it. She was having such a good time a couple days ago that I had to catch some photos. Here she is laughing because she has been splashing Mama and Card with water - she has just discovered splashing :)
Two people acting like adults, seven little ones (so far) training to be adults, and LOTS of animals sharing 57 acres of land.........

Eggs and Chicks
Our big broody hen - Tess - has hatched out all she is going to hatch I believe. She had 12 eggs under her and hatched out 9 live ones, 1 died after hatching, and she has two left, but I think she is finished being broody! 9 out of 12 is great though! Here are some of the chicks and the proud (and VERY protective) Mama!

Tess and 5 of her chicks.
No its not different daddies - it is actually different mamas........
Tess today - with 9 baby chicks. Try and get close and you will get a good pecking - just ask Card.
