Jesse's Triplets



Poor Jesse had a load. She delivered triplets, 7, 8 and 9lbs! For triplets that's a lot of poundage! They were born Friday and all are doing well. We did move them all into a stall in the barn so we can keep a better eye on them and so Jesse can be fed extra food. The chickens have also figured out that we are giving her corn in her feed. So along with a nanny and three kids there are usually two or three chickens in the stall as well.

In fact, I went down there tonight and two chickens are sleeping in there!

They are so pretty, we each have a favorite. I like the black one with spotted ears, Kolin and Konrad like the white one with brown on it's head and back end, and Kaden likes the brown one the best. Unfortunately they are all males so we won't get to keep any of them :(
