Hay!!

Hi and Welcome back to the Chicken Coop!!

This morning my dad went and picked up 2 bails of hay for the Chickens!
Because our whole Chicken yard is all mud. And mud smells!
So me and L went out to do the weekly cleaning and to put the hay down and oh it looks SO much cleaner and better out there! And it smells so good!!!

So here are a couple pictures of the Chicken Yard before we put the hay down-

So you can see on the picture

Well have a blessed day!

Name Change

Hi!
Our family has decided that Sunshine is not a Sunshine.
She is to spunky.So she needed a new name.
So we talked about several names and we have decided her new name is...............Drum Roll Please....
Ginger!!
We decided to name her Ginger because Sunshine just doesn't fit her personality. :)
Also, we put the ducklings in the kitty pool (it didn't have water in it)and we sat in there with them, and they just hopped all over us!! They are loved......

Well God Bless!

Duck Mama :)

Hi and Welcome back to the Chicken Coop!

Well I am very proud to announce to that me the Chicken Mama is a also a Duck Mama!

Today we picked up to baby ADORABLE ducks!

While we were in the car on the way home they were just peeping and peeping and peeping!!

I love them SO much!!

Their names are drum roll please :) Puddle and Sunshine (or Toot we haven't decided yet)

So here are some pictures of our little miss Puddle and Sunshine-

Here is Miss Sunshine-

She is adorable!! Here is some information agout Miss Sunshine!

Age- About a week old :)

Breed- White Pekin ( we think :)

Personality- She is spunky and active! She tries to “get out” of her brooder box, but her wings are so little she just hits the wall and falls

backwards on her back! But I love her because of her spunk!

So she is a love!!

 

Next is Miss Puddle :)-

Here is a picture of Miss Puddle!

Here is some information about Miss Puddle-

Age- About 1 week

Breed- ? Here breed is a mystery, she is either a Mallard or a Rouen. I guess we will know later. :)

Personality- She is super sweet, timid and small. We love her! She has really big feet :) because when she waddles she  steps on her own feet and stumbles!

Compared to Miss Sunshine she is pretty small!

 

Here are a couple of pictures of me and L and the ducklings!

Here is me holding Puddle! She is so small!

 

Oh and sshhhhhhhhhhhh. We aren’t allowed to have ducks in our town,

so if anyone asks you tell them they are chickens with deflated beaks and they have a foot problem which makes them webbed. :)

Well see ya later!!

Blessings, Ruthie Lynn/Chicken/Duck Mama
