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!!

Chicken Swap

I am so incredibly blessed to belong to a fantastic facebook group called Chicken Swap of Missouri... they have been my helpers and teachers and I am just blessed. We did an ornament swap this year which was super fun. I found rooster ornaments at Hobby Lobby and sent those out.. and I received some cute ones back.. I received a snowman made from a lightbulb ( forgot to take a pic of it, but it was super cute!!) and here is the other two I received!!!

Both were homemade... crafty ladies!!!

Aren't they adorable?? It's kind of hard to tell, but the one on top is a sewn hen.. super cute and the one on the bottom is a clay star with a sparkle rooster stamp!! LOVED THEM!!!!

Do you have a go to group of friends that help you with all your chicken problems?? Or a group of people just to chat with about chickens? I am incredibly thankful for the awesome "peeps" at missouri chicken swap!!!!

Love, JL~
