I got a new cat: Tatiana!

and... we've got eggs! Berry's just laid her 1st egg, and is presently chirping away in her nest box which is sitting beside my bed. I won't know which ones are infertile until she's done, which should be some time tonight or tomorrow morning, and I can check in on them.

Congrats

Berry says thanks Tim! Anyways, it looks like she's finished laying and we are now at a total of 7 eggs. I have done the fertility tests on them and there appears to only be one infertile egg this go around, so great news for mom and me. I just checked in on her and she's currently plucking feathers to begin the incubation/nesting process.

Meanwhile, my little cat is quite the mischief maker, she has a habit of going places and doing things she is not suppose to do.  I'm beginning to wonder if I named her after the wrong GD

Oh, that's adorable s_p! Are you guys going to name them?

I know the feeling Tim, I have three cats myself, and all sorts of handfuls. Sissy likes to paw at cups full of any liquid, and when she does, she usually knocks them off the counter/table/stand! Then she just walks away like nothing happened. Donut (Sissy's son, and yes, his name really is Donut!) likes to dig up the potatoes and  the mounds in our garden whenever he can, and it's quite a site to see him run back and forth as he's being chased off! And then there's Buddy, the sweetheart. This cat will do anything for some love. Or food. Once he was locked outside all night, and he took refuge in the chicken house (we also have chickens :3) and sat in the boxes where the chickens lay eggs! He actually slept there too.... xD
Sissy likes to think she's a chicken too. Once, about 6 baby chicks were following her around, and she just led them around the yard! She also likes to walk in group with them; it's adorable xD
In all, we have too many animals to name. 3 cats, at least 40 chickens, numerous birds, including magpies and chickenhawks and eagles, there are squirrels in our attic, about 3 moose that like to visit us, summer or winter, at least one bear, and ducks that like to fly in and use the stream in our backyard and eat the chicken feed.

Do you live on a farm, Natalie?  Just curious.

  So many pets Natalie!

I used to have guinea pigs and rabbits myself. When I was little, I had small fish!

We have babies folks! Over the last three days, all 6 of the fertile eggs hatched and we're working on names.

Congrats!!! Wonderful

Berry and Mango say thanks Jen! We have 4 males and 2 females. We've chosen the names for the males, but are stuck on the females. They won't be out of the nest box for another 4 days though, so we still have time to figure that out.

Take a page from me and name them after the GD's

Thanks for the suggestion Tim! We've already picked out names, but I'll take that into consideration for the next new family member we get.
The 4 boys are Oceano (he's a whitefaced blue, which is genetic mutation), Jet (he's a rosy peach faced, like Berry), Camo (he's also a whitefaced blue) and Citrus (he's a orange tinted peach faced like Mango). The 2 girls are Kai (she's like Oceano and Camo) and Tang (she's the same as Mango and Citrus).

Those are nice names.

Lovely names! I like them

Tatiana has been sleeping with me, she really is a little sweetheart.
