Our Baby Chicks Have Hatched....

Well it was an exciting time using our incubator for the first time.  We managed to successfully hatch around 50 baby chicks without any incident.  They were so cute to watch busting out of their shells.  First they poke a hole just for oxygen...then they take a rest...next they peck some more....then they take a rest....and so on until they finally make it out!  Matteo at 7 months old was facinated with the whole ordeal.  There are a few eggs that did not hatch but overall we had a pretty good hatching rate.  We have most of this batch sold but if you are looking for baby chicks please don't hesitate to contact us as we are already putting together another flock to hatch.  

On another note, we found a pregnant cat on our property last night, she just wandered into Riccardo's work shop.  She is all grey and very friendly.  We are pretty sure that someone probably did not want the responsibility of dealing with the kittens so they just dropped her off knowing that we do all we can for animals.  We made her a bed in our workshop complete with blankets, food & water.  She was still there this morning so I figure she does not have a home in the area to go to or she would have left.  I guess we will add her to our flock of cats which makes 6 now and a litter of kittens on the way.  If anyone would like a free kitten please contact us.  If someone really did just drop her off fully pregnant I really hope that person gets a little taste of their own medicine someday, that is just plain wrong.
