peacock egg hatching 101

My apoligies for those "following" the infatuated Horton leaving "his" nest of duck eggs to "woo" Maisey...I just discovered this post was still...umm incubating :-)...

Maisey is newest farm funnies "gal" ( she is a rescued peafowl, who had abandoned her three eggs, (well this was partly due to being rescued. I also rescued her eggs and tucked them under one of Horton's egg hatching protege'....little black ( a small bantie hen).

Wow this almost sounds like a tv soap... perhaps I have a new rendition ?

With "feathers" ruffled, will there be trouble in the hen house when new chicks arrive on the scene?

(well in this instance apparently not. "We ended up without chicks of any kind...

Horton's duck eggs chilled.

Little Blacks swapped eggs , all but one was abandoned.

The "adopted" peacock eggs, she, booted out all but one ,then days later she became "bored" due to the extended hatching "date"....mom (me) was so sad... the lone little peacock egg was "with" chick, but of course chilled, when little black went gallivanting... stay "tuned" to the next episode.

To the "days in the henhouse"

Will the flamboyant and colorful dad ever be rescued and reunited with his beloved Maisey?

Will jealousy ensue when he spies Horton ,who is smitten with the love of his life?

Will Horton receive the cold shoulder from all,when he hatches something?

Will Maisey confess to flitting eyelashes at Horton?

Will Little black ever pass egg hatching 101,

Will the little call ducks decide to raise their own family?

Oh my ...what is a farm yard to do?

Rehab Barbie's debut, she really is a doll.

Welcome home Barbie, isn't she a cute little doll ?

I discovered this weekend you are the answer to a prayer unknown to Grandma.

Barbie recently arrived ,to join our crazycritter family.

She was dubbed rehab Barbie, by the previous owner, due to some mild foundering. Foundering includes some rehabilitating work to keep her feet comfortable and not cause lameness. Barbie was having a bit of difficulty navigating when she first set foot on farm funny "land" and mom promptly trimmed her feet, She was actually trotting away from me yesterday when she saw I had a halter in hand. Hmm , me thinketh some ground work is next on my "list" of to do's .

Another bit of Barbie "trivia" she is the "answer" to my recent "pondering" mentioned in my

He is here, he is here !

Welcome little prince of the Alpaca world...

He arrived just in the nick of time, farm funnys mom was leaving the next day to help with Grandchildren for a week. Farm Funnys "dad" was a bit apprehensive with the newest bundle of joy, due to arrive soon.

Christina, you are such a good mommie. Umm ,even if you did plaster dad with Alpaca "juice" ,while I was gone, when he picked up the little prince to carry him to a snug box stall ,for an expected chilly night and possibly rain.
