MORE little girls...

We had a VERY busy day on Saturday.

And Friday.

And Sunday.

Hahahahaha

But let's start at the beginning.

On THURSDAY I noticed my truck 

making a funny noise while braking.

Not every time.

And really hard to re-create.

*The first time I thought it was the radio!

It did it again on Friday.

When Kyle got home, I took him out

for a drive so he could hear it.

He and Rod decided it was my

rear brakes.

Since we had scheduled a trip up to

our feed mill to pick up this month's

feed, we asked Kyle if we could 

trade trucks.

Which meant when Kyle got to work

Saturday morning, he discovered he didn't

have the keys to his tool box.

They were on his OTHER key chain.

Rod dashed over to rescue him.

And I made breakfast.

Then we hopped in Kyle's truck and headed

north to Samsula to get feed.

Bandit had to stay home.

We didn't want her in Kyle's truck.

It was a nice trip, the weather was great,

the feed smells great (it has a TON of molasses)

but it took a LONG time.

On the way home, we stopped in town

and Rod did a blood test.

His protein was a little low last time

so they won't let him donate plasma again

until it tests "in range".

Then we stopped at Tractor Supply to pick

up some little watering jars for my chickens.

(They didn't have any last time...)

They had their Easter Chicks.

Dangerous!!!!!

We JUST got 41 brand new little black chicks.

But we were thinking that might not be enough.

And they had some little "Amberlink" chicks.

They are a sex link, so they mature early

and they lay lots of big dark brown eggs.

And they are a pretty amber color when the

grow up.

So we got 12 of them.

LOL

Aren't they cute?

But they also had ducklings.

I've NEVER wanted ducks.

Ok, maybe for 5 seconds.

But ducks never hit my radar.

Apparently that is not true for Rod.

He asked if we should maybe get a couple.

I told him he was WELCOME to get a couple.

But they are dirty.

And they need a kiddy pool.

And you have to dump and scrub it every day.

But he still wanted them.

You gotta admit.

They are ADORABLE.

All THREE of them!

Tentatively named Donald and Daisy.

But since they are un-sexed,

we'll have to wait and see.

SUPER CUTE!!!!

We ended up segregating the ducklings.

The chicks were pecking their beaks and feet.

Hey man, you got a little something 

stuck to your foot - I'll just get

that off for ya', k?

LOL

Once they are bigger, they'll be able

to defend themselves better,

but for now, they have their

own cage.
