brand new baby gosling - drying off, and resting under heat lamp, in my homemade brooder box.

so, Larry, Curly and Mo are 2 and a half weeks old now.

Connor hatched naturally a week later.

in case anyone's wondering...

the pencil marks you can see on the eggies are X's and O's.

that's how we tell which way to turn the eggs (rotated end-over-end, 3 times a day)

:)

Well I was close! Olivia's response was a snotty nosed wowwwww Wok Woks!

well, Linny the Guinea WonderPet doesn't live here with me...

but I have Patsy, Peta, Paula, Pablo, and Pancho!

LOL Olivia saw the piglets and goes, " awwwwwwwww" then all of the little gooselets and her response was ,"awwww, baby pretty pretty wok woks!"

Once again you've made her day!

Awwwww, so sweet! Olivia, you are one special little girl to have your own thread!

Good afternoon, Olivia.

I would like to introduce you to one of my little bunnies.

This is Brad:

Brad likes to make a mess in his Bunny House, and toss his toys all over.

His favorite thing to play with is his chew-stick... he grabs hold of it with his teeth, and THROWS it, UP in the air, and back over his shoulder.

Then, he runs and picks it up, and does it all over again.

I had to make him a feeding dish that is firmly *attached* otherwise, when he is hungry, guess what?

He would have no FOOD to eat, because... he liked to play CATCH with his dish too!

But I outsmarted him... I drilled little holes in his dish, and WIRED it to the FLOOR.

Now, he plays catch with his carrots instead, like a good Bun-Wun!

PS: Olivia, I hope you are feeling better today.

Olivia - How special you are to have your very own Wok Wok Thread. I certainly hope these wok woks are making you feel better.

Larry, Curly, & Mo will be three weeks old tomorrow.

they're growing SO fast, Olivia!

if you remember, all three use to bathe together...

look, only TWO of them fit in the water dish now:

I'm sitting at the bottom of my front steps taking these pictures.

the gosling WOK WOK babies are having a nice time, washing, and grooming their downy-soft baby feathers.

WOW, how does he bend his NECK that way?

Kay - I think you found your calling. Children's books with photos from your farm. These are great.
