Beautiful

Genesis 1:12

“And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

King James Version (KJV)

We have another Peachick :) I am beyond happy

Our first peachick is doing wonderful. So imagine how happy we are that we have another peachick. This little one hatched yesterday and it is from our pre-Madonna girl Jay-lo. It looks very different.

I just cant tell you how exciting this is. We are doing so much better this year. It only goes to prove just stick with it and never give up. We will get even better with each year.

The wildest thing happened yesterday along with our little chick – Scar laid another egg. This was over two weeks after the last egg was laid by either female. Now she went and laid it in the goat pen with all the young goats. It was no surprise that the goats broke it. Such a shame.

First pictures of our new addition- but we are not out of the woods yet. we have moved it to the brooding box so the next 48 hours are critical. One week in our odds go up dramatically. No matter what this is great news.

I am going to end this post with a quote;

I found this one inspirational and wanted to share–

Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.
Aquinas, Thomas. 13th Century.

Our First Peacock to hatch at the Farm ( so excited)

admin — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:15:03 +0000

Yesterday June 1, 2015 we had our first peacock hatch in the incubator. We did not expect any to hatch so we were surprised and thrilled. This is the second year attempting to hatch peacock eggs the first year we did not have any success.

If we are really lucky and I mean really lucky one or more will also hatch. It was funny because I had said one of the eggs looked like it was moving (ever so slightly) however I said I was not sure if it was truly moving or if I wanted it so badly that I was seeing something that was not there. Now the egg that hatched was the one that was moving. The egg that hatched was Scar’s.

Scar is my Goth child peacock. Does not like to be photographed and is often by herself. Jay-lo is my pre-Madonna loves to be photographed and always right there to see what is going on.

I have photos I took yesterday in the incubator and I took some photos in the brooding box this morning (June 2, 2015). The chicks in the brooding box are a little over a week old. The chicks will help teach the peachick how to eat and give it comfort too. ( no one really likes being alone, smile)

We have crossed two hurtles the first one being it hatched, second one it survived the night. If the peachick survives tonight we are looking good. No matter what we have done wonders over our first attempt last year.

enjoy the pictures

scripture for this post is from New International Version (NIV) Bible;

Hebrews : 11:1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
