Our family keeps growing....welcome to Farm Wunderli

The other night whilst I was working on the computer Zara came rushing into the room saying we have chickens.  She was absolutely right.  The night guard had purchased 21 chickens for us.  Simon had talked with our night guard, Moses, about getting chickens but we didn't quite expect them so soon.  The funniest part of it was that Simon was heading off on an overnight the next day and Moses was off duty and so guess who had to being mama to them all, me :) 

Thankfully Joshua and Zara were around also to check on them.  Zara especially enjoys animals so she was talking to them and giving them names.  Unfortunately, Sally the sick one, despite much love, care and attention, died.  We also lost another one two days later but the rest seem to be thriving.  They are less than a week old but some of them think they can already fly.  They are quite comical.  We hope to have fresh eggs in a few months time which will be of great use with all the baking we do in this house.  Also we are hoping our playful pup, Sox, gets used to them so when they start roaming around the garden she looks on them as friends rather than a tasty snack.

Simon is also looking to get turkeys and guinea fowl.  I thought I had married a Missionary Pilot and Carpenter but its looking more and more like a farmer also :)  but life is never dull.
