papaya, a dog, ducks, chickens


JP planted a bunch of papaya trees and they grow and produce fruit pretty quickly! yum!


 

Here is our dog, Teddy. He has this low camp chair with his blanket and he hangs out there sleeps there at night on the veranda.



The ducks are doing well, but no eggs yet.  The chickens are great and they've started multiplying!





Several of the hens hatched chicks recently.  JP had this box made so that he can put chicks in there and the hens will start laying eggs and making more chicks because they don't need to look after these chicks any more.  The hens aren't very happy when their babies get taken away, but they get over it.  In the picture the hen was kind of freaking out and running back and forth in front of the box because she couldn't get to her chicks.  The chick box is in the garage so it can stay warm enough, and usually the hens are outside of the garage if the door is closed, so hopefully they'll forget about the chicks and start laying more eggs.
