PEEP PEEP PEEP PEEP
WHAT IS IN THERE???
Six little fluff balls.
We got the call this afternoon and rushed right down to get our new babies.
They peeped all the way home and until we could get them set up and fed and watered.
They are only one day old here.
They know where the food is already.
They know where the water is too.
3 black and 3 golden.
And Mama Annie who is making sure all is well.
We put them in my studio so I can shut the door from Daisy our cat and Annie our dog and the peeping.
altho once fed they were happy campers.

| Con just finishing roofing my shelter for putting the picnic table under and now he will need to build us a Chicken coop on the other side or our yard. I know the chickens will take shelter under this and use the bushes for hiding in. He will pour a cement floor for this when it warms up more. We will make them a pen with wire around it and a small run to be in but let them free range in the day time. | . |

| When I saw Con laying across this iffy structure to tar and nail down the roof, I about had a cow and then we would have needed a BARN.:O |
I am adding this new card I just made for some friends Anniversary next month.
I am going to link this with PPF
This is Manhattan and will be called MADDY.
They recently just got this little puppy and I thought since I did their other dog, Brooklyn, as an anniversary card last year, that this year I would do the newest member of their family as a card in watercolor, acrylic and Ink.

Aww, those chicks are so cute. Hope Annie is behaving with them, I fear William would have other thoughts, although considering that for a moment, and knowing him, he would likely be scared of them!! lol.
ReplyDeleteYour painting of Maddy is so sweet, your friends will be thrilled.
Hope you are having a good week :)
You lucky lady, getting to have chickens. I can't wait to hear all about them. They are cute little fluffballs. I can see Annie's curiousity and excitement. She will be a good shepherd. Love the card. I am sure your friends will too.

The doggie is sooo cute, but the chickens are even cuter. Such fluffy balls! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThose babies are just adorable, and Annie thinks so too. And as for your picture- it looks just like Snuffles. Aaaaw. Happy PPF dear heart.
ReplyDeleteI thought puppies trumped everything in cuteness...until I saw your chicks. They are so dear! I hope we see them in a sketch soon. Love your puppy!
ReplyDeleteAwwww; love the peeps and love hearing about what-comes-next for them. Happy to have found your blog, too (hopped over from Sketchbook W.)
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, so cute! HPPF!
ReplyDeleteI so want chickens but have been vetoed by my husband. Plus, I think our cat would have her way with them. So I will live vicariously through you! Please keep us posted about them! On one of our visits to Guatemala, we bought our family 3 chickens and a rooster so they would have food and a source of income. It cost us $25 dollars (for the 4!) and changed their lives. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh love the chickens and the puppy Maddy and this whole post! <3
ReplyDeleteI love chickens - colors and shapes. The chicks are just so cute. As is your lovely card - well I guess the puppy is cute and the card is lovely. Loved the pictures of the chicks. HPPF
ReplyDeleteOOPS I spelled Matty wrong.. I used a D.. oh well it sounds about the same. :)) Thank you everyone I appreciate all your lovely comments. I am having so much fun with these little gals just watching them grow stronger. I'm in love already. :) I will get to your blogs all soon.. Thanks for being patient.
ReplyDeleteawe I love the new peeps!! I wish we lived where we could have farm animals like chickens,goats,cows-you name it:) Your Annie is so well behaved-mine (she's a hunting breed) would have devoured them instantly.Sadly she's already gotten a few baby bunnies and a bird. I really need to keep a good eye on her in the yard.Love your painted card of Maddy-he looks adorable. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteLoving your cute puppy, so adorable. Thank you for sharing the fab photos. Happy PPF, Annette xx
ReplyDeleteI am sad...we just lost one of our Fluff balls. One of the Rhode Island reds.. :( They warned us that could happen so order more then we wanted, but you still don't want to lose any.
ReplyDeleteMaddy is a wonderful painting, and I love seeing your new babies... and look forward to chicken drawings.... reminds me of years ago when a bloke I taught with bought some chickens in for the students to draw and within minutes we had chickens going everywhere and 60 15 year old scattered trying to catch them... our art department was never quite the same but the drawings and paintings ended up being great fun...xx
ReplyDeleteAw those chicks are just so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful painting of the pup. Darling fluffy chicks.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful..gorgeous painting..what a sweet bewildering soul..the eyes are gorgeous..wonderful fur..and carries such a beautiful spirit!
ReplyDeleteyay congrats..sweet little chicks..enjoy!
Happy PPF

Oh you will have such fun having chickens! Can't wait for our chickens to get broody in the Spring.I love chicks following my hens around the farm. At the moment my chickens are dodging the chicken swallowing snow drifts we have here in New England ( all there in the chicken coop post )
ReplyDeleteLovely what you did with Maddy !
Best wishes with your new peeps.
Maddie is simply adorable and the other pictures are stunning as well! Congratulations !!
ReplyDeleteYour new chicks and new card are both adorable! The new structure is looking good, too. I am so sorry you lost one of the babies. I guess some are not strong enough to survive the move. Chris, I have awarded you with a "Liebster Award". It was awarded to me, and I have picked 5 other blogs that I really enjoy and that have less than 200 followers currently. You can read all about it on my post today. I am hoping you will be able to accept the award, as you bring joyful art and education into all our lives.
ReplyDeleteOh your new babies are SOOOOOOO adorable!!!! What fun.
ReplyDeleteYour doggie is also adorable and sweet.
Oh, the little fluff balls, how cute & exciting!! And your portrait of Maddy is just adorable!! (And I'm in love with Mama Annie.)
