The newest addtions to the family

Two goats, two pigs, and Hazel has hatched her chicks!

The goats are both females and there names are Sugar and Snowflake.  We got bought them from Gary Reagan who has a beautiful farm near our house where we also bought a baby pig named Pee-wee.  Before we got the goats and the pig we had bought a pig from the Humane Society named Billy.  Billy and Pee-wee are best friends now and are living peacefully in a pen near the goats pen.
 Hazel is very proud of her family of five chicks.  She has a big job watching them all but she is doing a wonderful job.

A mamma at last

Hazel had been wanting really badly to hatch some eggs but none of our roosters were big enough to fertilize her eggs.  Even when we stole the eggs our of under her she would sit on nothing wanting so bad to be a mamma.  Finally we got some fertilized eggs for her (12 of them,) and she is sitting  on them very satisfied.  Lord willing she will soon hatch them and have some babies of her own! :)
