Animals Spring 2013

Here is some new pics of the animals here at Fruit Tree Hill....

This is the new Banty coop made from vintage window screens from the house at the end of the street.. the neat couple that live there are in their 90's and they save EVERYTHING... including all the vintage window screens from their home! Awesome! Cost us about 12 bucks to do this coop... paint and hardware. It's all screened in and lovely!
That's Lola in their... she is a silver laced Wyandotte.. she has a booboo back from being Hershey's favorite, the hen saddles are in the mail!

This is Porter... he's on loan from a friend's farm, he is our Ameracauna Dolly's new beau... hehehe.

This is Teddy Bear.. he is the proud papa of 27 babies!!!!!!! He is a lionhead.

The white and brown bun in the back is Sebastian, he is a lionhead. The cinnamon/black colored Netherland Dwarf in the front is Little Bear.

This is Kevin.... our crazy polish rooster. He is crazy. Seriously. and he's in time out. so there.

Hello Elvis! He is our little banty roo, the protector of the eggs. He is a Silver Birchen Cochin Bantam.

Hello Hershey! Our protector of all the chickens, he is a Barred Rock Rooster. He's handsome.

There's Dylan, working on his little "pond" for the ducks!

These are the ducks! Chris and Pat... because we don't know if they are boys or girls !! They are playing in a mud puddle under the swingset! :)

Introducing Some of The New Babies at the Hill

Here are some of the baby bunnies.... and cutie pie Marlee :)

Fresh Footage at the Farm March 2013

It's spring and the house is full of new babies ( because it's still freezing outside!! so they are in the house yikes!!) Here is some footage of the new babies... I couldn't get Paris and Foxy's babies because the lighting was to dark.... but this video features Violet and her babies, Winter, and the new baby chicks!! Enjoy!!

Bottle Fed Babies!

So momma Foxy Cleopatra has rejected two of her babies ( the littlest runts!) but she IS taking good care of the three she has in there still. So, I am bottlefeeding two precious babies!! :) So far so good.... they were so skinny and puny and she kept throwing them out of the nest box. So for now I just tried to get some kitten milk replacer in them. Today I have started pedialyte also.. to get them better hydrated. Working hard! They sleep together all bundled up and I think.... it might be working. But, I try to remind the kids that bottlefeeding baby bunnies a lot of times doesnt work :( Hopefully it will be good! :)

New babies at the farm!!!!

We have 18 gorgeous new Lionhead bunnies at Fruit Tree Hill!!! They are so neat!!!! They are inside right now so that they are safe from the weather and everything is going great!! Here is some fun pictures! Congrats to Violet, Paris, and Foxy Cleopatra!! Oh yeah... congrats to daddy Teddy Bear too!! Proud Papa!!
