Chickens and Puppies


I am excited to show off the growing family,
so here are some photos of the craziness thus far....


The hens arrived safe and sound and seem to be settling in great!
We have 4 Faverolles (hatched in March) and 2 Silkies (hatched in January).




The Silkies seem to be a bit more timid then the Faverolles, yet easier to catch- we figure it must be because they cant see a damn thing!




This is one of the smaller Faverolles. We are starting to get to know them better and tell them all apart, but they still don't have names. Please post if you have any name suggestions!







Doug!
Doug moved in May, so hes not the newest addition to the family. He is 7 months old and the mellowest puppy I have ever know- he cant be bothered to even lift his head if someone arrives at the house, let alone bark or jump up.



Aspen
(aka: Little dancer, Pleasure fox, Gypsy or really anything you want to call her since she hasn't figured out the whole name thing yet )
Aspen is 6 months old and is a really sweet little dog. Her and Doug get along fantastic and when they are not sleeping are rolling around on the floor together. We are all a bit concerned for her right now though as there seems to be something wrong with her hips/back legs that makes it hard for her to get around. Hopefully its something that we can fix easily!



Okay, so these are not chickens or puppies, but these baby seeds are just as exciting! Hopefully we will be able to plant them in the garden soon. All the little ones in the front are tomatoes, zuccinni and kale seedlings in the middle, mint and strawberries in the back box.

  3. You bet! Pretty much any day now, though we are hoping baby stays in there as long as possible! Aspen is Aliana's puppy, so that means she will be heading off to Squamish for the summer at the end of June when Aliana is done school.
