It sure was a long 13 days!
Yes, the recent Wisconsin trip took almost two weeks and that can seem like forever when there are new animals at home, work to be done, and a house to be building.
Thankfully, after a drive that takes almost 12 hours just in drive time, we made it home late Tuesday night, but while it was still light out. After checking on our hogs and a few of the buck rabbits, we made it up to the rest. Here's the video.
HOME AT LAST – HOW IS EVERYBODY?
PHOTO RECAP
After the unfortunate death of the first chick that hatched (named Steemy) we were happy to see two others hatch out as well. However, soon after they hatched, we had to leave to Wisconsin. We named these two Steemy (Jr) and Steemie and left. Thankfully, they were both alive and well when we returned!
Our two oldest Muscovy ducklings are still doing great too. We will see what colors they eventually turn, but their beaks are already beginning to change. They now have a bit of a red border on their bill and soon it will probably also develop around their eyes.
Our rabbit Polkadot looks like she is almost ready to give birth. She pulled out a lot of hair to line the nest, and hopefully we will have some new cute baby bunnies from her very soon. We will definitely let you know when they arrive.
The Guinea Fowl that and
helped us purchase are doing great too. You can see one of our hens in the top of this photo and our male Muscovy duck too. The duckling in the middle was "adopted" by the Guinea Fowl, because his mom became aggressive towards him. Eventually, we will have to let him know he is a duck, but he's just glad to have friends for now. Also, the Guinea Fowl are starting to change head color and shape too. It is an interesting process to be sure.
Our remaining adult Muscovy Duck female is still sitting on her next batch of eggs. She began sitting on them just prior to us leaving, so she has over two weeks in on the incubation so far. Muscovy eggs take 35 days to incubate, and she has 13 or 14 under her this time, if I remember correctly.
Somehow the last litter that Brownie has consisted of three bunnies. They are all still alive and well, and vary in color in a marvelous way. They seem to have shorter ears than some of our other rabbits.
These are our 3rd generation STEEM-powered rabbits. Originally, bought us the grandmother of these little bunnies. Though she unfortunately died, she produced a daughter who looked a lot like her. Now, her daughter has given birth to these five wonderful, furry little bunnies. These have got to be some of the cutest bunnies that we have had yet.
It sure was an amazing trip and we had a great time up in Wisconsin, but it is also so good to be home again. It's time to get back to work building our future!
Stay tuned for Part 3 when I check the mailbox after being gone for so long!
