The yellow one is Payton's. FlowerBelle. The little black one burying it's head is Morgan's. Princess. And MINE is the cute multi-colored one. That's Henny Penny.
We have a couple of acres and we are now officially a little farm. We've been wanting to try our hand at growing our own eggs since we moved here, but it wasn't until Steve and his fire buddies decided to all do it together and do a traveling Coop building party that we decided to take the plunge. The chicks have to be inside for several weeks in a box under a heat lamp, so in the next few weeks the guys will get their coops built. We have raccoons trying to steal Cooper's food all the time, so we need to make sure to have a quality, CUTE coop built for these little ones.
Let's just all hope they are girls! We have no idea! And my sister said that our luck, Princess will turn out to be a rooster. That's totally us. This has happened to us before, with Princess Goldie, our male Beta fish.
I'm sure the girls will have a lot of fun with them. Payton's baby blanket has already been pooped on after an attempt at swaddling. good grief. I'm excited for when they go. Outside.
We are also getting 5 steers this week. Yes, we raise them yearly. Yes, they go into the freezer. We usually get two but this year we are bouncing them between a couple of properties, so we decided to go with five. I think they are all Angus. So anyway... it is a country life for us.
To satisfy your cravings for all things Studio Calico, I have a couple of sneaks to share with the April kit. I'm sure you'll have a hard time guessing what the subject was of my first sneak. And you'll also notice that I took inspiration from the very first Studio Calico kit for my title on this one.
Did you see that new alpha stamp set? Yep. That's an SC exclusive.
Have a great day!
P.S. I'll post the winner of that delicious Upper Crest punch for my February Project 12 challenge here in a sec.
