Hatch news!

Our Ameraucana eggs have hatched and we ended up with 16 lively babies in the brooder. I'll have the webcam broadcasting from the brooder during the evening hours and the peafowl pen during daylight hours until these little ones are big enough to 'fly the coop'.
The peafowl eggs continue to develop well - the first batch is due out on the 15th and the rest on the 25th.
I'm so glad to say we have a new addition to our family! Lily is a Great Pyrenees and is a 7 wk old ball of fluff! She is so sweet and is already showing the fierce bonding and loyalty known in the breed. She seems to be a very laid-back and smart pup and has just fit right in. She spends a lot of her day taking her puppy naps on my feet under my desk - so cute! We are enjoying sitting with her in our laps while we can - she will be a very large dog when she gets fully grown.
