We have two new calves, two new pigs, and two new chicks. You would think it was spring. The calves were expected, but not this soon, the pigs were inevitable once the calves came, and the chicks are most exciting because they were least expected.
We thought the milk cow wouldn't calve for another month. At least some did. The rest of us said the bull did not go in the cow pen because she had better hay, even if that was all he was doing when found. The second calf was more of a surprise. A nice pair of heifers though. And we get real milk again.
The chicks are cute. We have never had eggs hatch before. We have never had a rooster before. The hen started out with five eggs. One exploded early, not fertile apparently. Two may have hatched later, but I guess after a few days the hen decides to take care of the chicks she has and kicked out or broke the two that hadn't hatched. We still have two more chicks than we have ever had. Hopefully at least one is a hen. And I need better pictures. Time to recharge the real camera batteries.
