Mrs Flowers brought her peachicks out for a walk today and there are four wee chicks. FOUR! Good girl Mrs Flowers.
Working fast all I got was this blurry image but they are all walking and talking and looking lovely. All multi coloured. 
Pania decided to stay on her nest the whole day yesterday, but still I think it would be wise to take at least three of her eggs and raise them myself. These cats are a swarm. I must gird my loins and steal the eggs today.
Poppy has calmed down and so has Sheila and they spent most of yesterday laying in an enormous mud puddle together (we had some more rain) and chatting about stuff.
The piglets have shown no signs of missing their mother at all. They swarm about my feet when I am in there,squealing and grunting loudly, eat EVERYTHING and beg to be let out into the garden. So (being a softy) I opened their gate and they had a lovely day out there and came in when asked for night-time.
The calves are coming along beautifully now. Still scrawny but drinking and eating like crazy.
Life is toddling along.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farm,
celi

Welcome to the peachicks! Isn’t that nice? – Weaning the piglets is for me comparable with the kids are going to Kindergarten from now on. I wonder how it is when they meet again in the barn in the evenings. Will there be a great Hello? Or just nothing…
Good luck with Pania’s eggs. BTW: How long is she already breading? Isn’t it a good while now? Won’t it be time for hatching soon as with Mrs. Flowers? Or did I miss something?
Thanks God for the calves… – Love the beautiful colored sky.
She is at least two weeks behind Mrs Flowers – still at the wandering on and off stage. But yes, we are not sure when they will hatch which is always a challenge..
Toddling—I’ll say! That’s quite a batch of busy toddlers you have on your hands right now. Well done, you! May all thrive. 😀
Happy, lovely day, C.

I was thinking the exact same thing as quinn about moving mama peahen and her eggs in the dark of night.
Pea hens are huge, and their claws are dangerous, and (I have tried this before) there is every chance she will leave the nest. I have an incubator, it is fine.
YAY! You did it, Miss C! All are doing well. A job well done by you!

I did read yesterday’s post but got distracted… 4 Peachicks and a beer guzzling Poppy, how wonderful. May6be I should move into the barn post surgery! Pity I am not allowed to fly.
The barn is the perfect place for lying still with your eyes closed – SO much to hear!.. c
Dear Grannymar, Please write to me at jamarzgayle19@yahoo.com as I have a situation to offer you. Love, Gayle, who still can’t contact you on your website!
Thanks Gayle. Elly hopefully will sort out the contact box problem on my blog when she comes to play Nursemaid during the week. She does not realise I have a list as long as my arm of niggly little jobs to keep her busy while I am in hospital, hopefully only for one night. Email on way as I am intrigued to discover more about the situation you have to offer!
I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Heheh. Gayle
Beautiful images .. Congrats on the chicks
What a lovely sky. All seems right at the farmy today. Hopefully, Pania will cooperate.
