Magic and Sunny are 1 week and 3 days old....

This is Ace she is Magics Mom...

I got her go free when she was a few days old... She was small and the other chicks were pecking at her so the man at the feed store gave her to me.. She is the best layer I have...

Today all 5 hens laid...first time ever!!!!

I guess I'm now the crazy chicken ladybug from TEXAS...

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Magic and Sunny

Day 22 we were worried they weren't going to hatch...patients is key...

It took most of they day...

We could hear chirping...

Magic was first out...

Come on sister I'm waiting on you...

Sunny is working hard ...
 

Welcome Sunny...

Sister love...
 

Magics old digs...

 

Happy to be out...have started new eggs..one of the three original did not hatch...the baby never formed...
 
 
 
 
 
 

Taking a little break on our hike...

letting me get caught up...

since I stop so much for...

well you know...

photos...photos...photos...

I really enjoy hiking...

we are fortunate to have so many fun

places to go in our area..

Rooster enjoys going...especially when he gets to swim...

for several weeks we had a group of

Cedar Wax Wings come to visit...

of course it was usually when I couldn't get out of 

the office to go get their photo...

or I was cleaning coops or Rabbit houses...with

no camera...

I love black and white photos...

old fashioned...but give a different prospective...

Buster enjoys a little free run time in the 

raised garden...

this was before the spinach...lettuce and cilantro

were planted...

we are getting a little bit of a late start 

on our ground garden...but

what we are planting will do well...

We had 2 baby chicks hatch last night...

I put 3 eggs in a incubator...

22 days later...we have two cuties...

Stringbean named them...

Magic and Sunny...

photos will follow...

Stringbean is growing like a weed...

Swimming in Spring...

you have to love Texas...

the next day...we needed jackets...

Our family loves going to the lake...

especially this place...

which we call The Cabins...

The granddogs love it too...

Rooster and the Girls stayed home...

to keep a good watch on everything...

Bo and Hatari love traveling...

they also love riding in the boat...

they are very well behaved...

 Stringbean's favorite thing...

you guessed it...

the pool...

 Sun going down after a beautiful day....

 Bo and my daughters boyfriend enjoying

a little R& R....

The blue bonnets have been beautiful this year...

last year we were so flooded we didn't get as many...

April almost gone...

2016 moving too fast for me...

Except I'm looking forward to summer vacation...

can't wait to have Stringbean all day....
