Lavern and shirley

Lavern is in the 1st picture and Shirley is in the 2nd picture. They are birchen blue cochens and are about 5 months old . They are a very chatty couple of hens so thats why I named them Lavern and Shirley !

Our chickens

The white rocks have started laying. In one weeks time their eggs doubled in size from Pullet to huge brown eggs and soon the rhode island red bantam hen will be also.

Here is a few pictures of our chickens and my little helper Rai. She is just the right size to fit in the bantam coop.

buttons

I love special buttons and these are just so cute! Anyone else love buttons? I have white rock hens so this was about as close to the breed as I could get in buttons.

Holland lop kits for sale

They were born April 30th so they are about 10 weeks old now. All 5 of them are Blue tort bucks. The parents are a smoke pearl doe and a blue tort buck, He won 2nd place at the Yelm, Wa spring show this year. They are a very smart and sweet breed of rabbit and good with kids.

I am selling them for $25 each

Silkie chicks

I picked up these cuties in Bremerton yesterday. I thought I was bringing home 2-4 week old buff's but ended up with 3-buffs and 1 white and black 6 week old chicks. They are funny looking right now but when the feather out they should be beautiful birds.

Thanks Jason for giving me the silkies!

rhode island red bantams

Here is pictures of my little rhode island red bantams. They are about 2 months old. Since I had some issues with cats in our yard. I keep them in a huge cage where they have plenty of room and during the day I have them in a pen so they get to get bugs and weeds.

Here is some things we have in our garden this year. Along with my bantam chicken lucky, she is lucky because she survived an attack on her cage mate 2 times. So she is going to be my only small chicken.

New Chicken coop

Dave had been putting up siding on our house and a new window this week end and we had enough to build
a new chicken coop that is now in the back yard. The old window is now the door to the coop and there is a back door to reach in to gather the eggs each day. It is in a very shady spot where there is plenty for them to eat besides their feed. I have 4 hens now and I am looking for a broody bantam hen so I can buy fertile eggs to hatch. So now all my pests oh I mean pets are in the back yard in their own homes.

Thank you hunny for making them a nice place to live!

Raidan's bunny nest box

This is my grand daughter's bunny nest. She seen that sweet pea had bunnies so she put her bunny in a nest too. She will be 3 in August and just loves our bunnies!

Sweet Pea and Peter's kits

Our holland lop kits, they are 1 week old and will be opening their eyes real soon.

It looks like one is already taking after Peter as he had tried to jump from my hand into Julie's lap.

They look like they will be torts but not sure if the color will be blue like Peter is. Sweet Pea is a smoke pearl.

The rabbits have a home

This is my new rabbit home. It is under our cedar tree so there is shade and sun when the door is open. Plenty of ventalation during the summer and can be closed up more if needed in the winter.

what is on my spindle

This is my spindle I had made for me a couple years ago. The design is the symbol for OM. Which is my mantra when I am meditating. The wool on it is a hand dyed Corriedale.

Breakfast for bunnies

Here is my view of them in the morning all clustered together waiting to eat. Once I put food in one bowl all 5 of them try to get in to eat!
They are now 7 weeks old.

Alpaca and silk fiber

Can you see the shine in this fiber. I can't wait to spin this up.

Chloe babie's

They are now in their own cage eatting pellets and hay. They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow the 11th

Barney

I picked him up on Saturday from Larry at the Yelm rabbit show. He is such a laid back little guy. He is my new breeder buck.

Bunny in my pocket

All I can say is I am having fun with these little cuties.

To be felted

I got this yarn from Dulie to make something for our rabbit clubs demo table at the show next week end. I thought that I would try felting it to see how it does since it is an angora blend. It if works out they way I hope it will become a coffee cozy.
