Temperatures are finally back down to regular summer weather 😅and Elena and Isaac picked up 13 fresh bales of hay for all the bunnies and animals yesterday so they were all very pleased. We had run out a couple days ago so they were very happy to have their hay back.😊😁

It’s going to be in the 90°s today and feel like 105-110 so Elena brought a large fan outside to help out the outdoor rabbits. Everyone has plenty of water. We have a couple mamas due, and she has started taking down the old duck house and she is going to repurpose that into a better structure for the outdoor rabbits than the tarps this summer… stay tuned 😎

We got some new bird friends today, and we are moving everyone around! We picked up a box of Polish chicken chicks at the post office today. They also threw in a mystery chicken.😆 the quail moved outside into their large run, the ducklings moved out into the old turkey pen, and now the chicks are where the ducklings were under a heat light until they get their feathers. Once the ducklings are big enough, they will join the other ducks and then the Polish will live where they are now. We are going to keep them separate from our other chickens. It will just be a Polish chicken palace over there.😆 the bunnies are also getting their cages clean today and enjoy enjoying some time in the grass. Beautiful summer day.

Baby Holland lops are 3 1/2 weeks old-we will have to get them out for a cute photo session, but I just grabbed a couple pictures with their mom today in the rabbit room. Peter got a squirrel and Claude got his area cleaned and so did the fuzzies and the ducklings went swimming. They are also about four weeks old now.

Peter, the farm protector and supervisor, turned 9 years old yesterday. He got a bit of tuna to celebrate 🎉 he enjoys his princess bed when he is not out walking the grounds and hunting small animals😊 Happy birthday Peter cat ! 🐱

Out of the first batch of quail, seven survived and are doing very well. Sally O’Malley and her three runner duck friends- Dory, Deb and Flo had a little swim time today. Some Bunnies got some playtime too while Elena did chores 😊

Currently, we have 11 baby quails!! We have had a couple losses, but 11 is a good number❤️ I think she wants to incubate another set. The ducklings continue to grow and thrive. Benny Bunny and Claude got their areas cleaned in the garage today. I think Peter’s favorite thing about Benny Bunny being here is that he likes to take naps in his carrier.😂😂

More quail are hatching!! 🐣 Elena moved the Singleton out in the garage and under the heat lamp by the ducklings yesterday. He was lonely waiting for the others to hatch….and then last night five more were born so he will soon have other friends out there😊

Isaac and Elena came back today and put the little ducklings in the pool-they loved it!! Casey and Mally visited them- but they did not want to take any responsibility for them😆
One quail hatched a day early so he’s all alone in there hopefully some other friends hatch too 🤞
I got a lot of things planted in the garden today. Hopefully it rains a bit tomorrow and the seeds start sprouting, and the plants start growing.

Fuzzy’s got their area cleaned today, ducklings are doing great- and we have a friendly boy bunny that would love a new 🏠 🩷 the garden is still a work in progress… little by little it will come together 😊

Continuing my animal duties while Elena is out of town- I moved the quail eggs out of the automatic egg turner, to the wire bottom, because they are ready to hatch in a couple days. Checked the baby Holland lops. We have four babies that are four days old🩷 the ducklings are doing great. Sally O’Malley likes to stand in the water dish. She wants a swimming pool soon she said.😂 the birds were out exploring the yard most of the day yesterday and enjoying the weather 😊 Benny Bunny also came back to spend the week with us while his family is on vacation . Claude isn’t sure about the new roommate 🤣I’m trying to use the nice weather to get the garden in order

Peter is mad at me this morning-I went to let the birds out and I brought the hose with me to freshen up their waters, and there was a wild rabbit running around the chicken yard. He is very hard to see in the pictures because they camouflage so well, but Peter saw him , cornered him -and then I heard a 😱 scream. I just was not in the mood to watch him kill a rabbit so I sprayed him with the hose and the rabbit ran away- out the door -and into the woods and now Peter is pouting. 😂 he has to do stuff like that when I’m not watching… he is not going to starve. He has a full bowl of cat food🙄 he’ll live.
