Cloverleaf Farm

Archive for June 25th, 2009

Between Pyewacket’s litter of 9 kittens and now the new chicks, our pantry is starting to look like a nursery.
The 9 little kittens have been put in the old 3 seater out house with a gate. This enables them to get out and discover their big new world while still staying in the “playpen”. Pyewacket, keeps a close eye on them, while still sneaking outdoors for some fresh air.
The new baby chicks are in their growing box with the heat lamp shining down on them. This will be home for them for a few weeks until they have feathered in some. They will then go to the “baby pen” that we have set up in the barn for all the new babies.

Michael went out to check for eggs, and discovered something peeping in the coop. Henreitta’s chicks are starting to hatch. We weren’t sure whether or not they would hatch, as we have tried and it didn’t work. Excitement abounds here at Cloverleaf Farm.
She is very protective of her clutch, so we are not how many are under her, but we were excited to see Mother Nature at work. It was a beautiful sight to see.

On the previous post, I got a comment from a man by the name of Robert Nierodzik, from the Midwest. He states that he doesn’t know the Parents, or us. Well, I know he doesn’t know us, and from the way he speaks to others, I wouldn’t want to know him.
I have been doing this blog for almost 2 years, and receive very few comments. This blog was meant for distant family and friends to keep up with what is going on with us, and the farm. So, when I received the comment from “broncobob”, in the Midwest, I knew it was a plant from the Paul Parent Garden Club. If nothing else it gave us a good laugh over how he corrected my use of a possessive plural, but had one of the biggest run on sentences in the history of the English language. We needed an oxygen mask after reading it.
