Three days later we picked up our two kittens. I picked these sisters out when they were just a day old and I have had the pleasure of visiting them once a week for the last 10 weeks to watch them grow so I couldn't wait to pick them up and bring them to their new home.
This is what they looked like at 3 weeks old
These in addition to my 5 year old rabbit
Our home is FILLED with the sounds of these bundles of joy. I have my rabbit cage in the library, the chickens brooding in a large box in our living room and the cats confined to the upstairs until the chickens are old enough to go outside in the coop
I have these fantasies all day at work of coming home and having the chickens swarm around my hands when I drop some feed into their bowl and the kittens jumping in my lap and purring when I go upstairs to check on them. Instead I get the chickens running away from me
And the cats play fighting (which sounds fantastic over our heads when we are in the living room)
OK, so it's not the fantasy I had. But what in life really is? It still brings me great joy to come home to our Menagerie. Just wait until we bring home our two new bunnies!
Hello, Ashley! This is "homesteadgirl"...handle your chicks as much as possible. We got a mature flock that were handled lots as chicks and (although I still have a little chase to catch them) I can hold and stroke them. We are new to chickens and are totally in love with the seeking of warm eggs, the caring for of creatures...so gratifying!
