Heather says hello to the not-so-baby chickens and the llamas

The chickens have grown quite a bit since the last time Heather saw them.  They are also harder to catch now.

The tree laying on the ground used to be one of my tree forts.  The tree was blown over most likely in the Columbus Day Storm of 1962.  It was at a 45 degree angle when I was a kid.  Now it is all the way down on the ground but it’s still alive.

Our mature chickens are awaiting the introduction of the new chicks.

We went and said hello to some of the llamas.  Goddard and Webster were eager for some treats.  They wouldn’t let poor Camelot have a snack.

Grace Ann is the queen of this corral.  Even though she is quite old and feeble, she still gets first pick of food.

Another pen holds some of our younger females.  They were inquisitive.

They wouldn’t quite give Heather a kiss.

Poofy was happy to have some attention from Heather.

Heather meets the baby chicks

IMG_6067Heather and I stopped by my parents’ farm the other weekend to look at the three day old baby chicks.  Baby chicks are a common sight for me but Heather hadn’t held one before.  Being teeny tiny, she instantly fell in love.

The chicks were all hanging out under the heat lamp.

This little guy didn’t want to get down at first!

Heather found an interesting little black chick.

The chick wasn’t so sure what to think about the situation.

Heather’s Parents Visit the Farm

Heather’s parents came to visit my parent’s farm for brunch.  They also checked out some llamas.  This is Goddard.

 

 And Goddard’s feet.  Heather’s mom needed some close-up photos of the feet for an art project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Here we all are together.
