Anticipation of new babies

Well tis the season...we are anticipating lots of new babies anytime.

One of our ducks hatched 10 of 12 eggs she was sitting on just recently. 9 of them survived. With all the new lil ducks and geese we turned out to pasture recently, our goose decided she wanted to sit on an egg. She there she sat for what seemed like eternity. We began to think that she was sitting on a dud. Thursday, the egg was gone but no baby. :/ We felt bad for her. Then Friday we were loading our calves to take to the vet and in the pasture was the teeny baby goose. YAY he made it! :)

Our lil duck is again sitting on 12 eggs due to hatch anyday now. But now another one of our ducks is sitting on 5 eggs and a chicken egg.

Our nanny goat is about to pop. Not sure if shes carrying 1 or 2. But we cant wait for them to get here. Any day now also.

"Jenny", our donkey, is about to explode also. She is so big we are questioning whether she might be carrying twins also. If it is not twins, it is one LARGE baby! Im excited but concerned.

We had one tabby who had a litter of kittens a couple of days ago, and "spots" had her litter last night. We have lots of field mice waiting on those babies to get bigger.

And last but not least, "Bonnie" our lop rabbit, is about to have another litter any moment. The last litter she had was just gorgeous. Cant wait to see what this one brings.

We also brought home 3 new baby girl boer goats yesterday. They are just adorable too.

Thats all on the baby homefront for now. :) Will put up pictures soon.
