Meet “Itty Bitty”… this chick is only about 3 days old and came as a tag-a-long with a 2 week old chick that an old family friend hatched in his incubator. Since only two chicks hatched, he asked me if I would take them to (later) add to my flock. Well, it wasn’t planned, but I said yes. What can I say, I’m a sucker and luckily hubby does his best to understand. We’ve never had Bantams, so these little ones are a new experience. They are SO tiny. For now, I’m having to keep them seperated from each other, too, because “Fancy” is so much bigger than “Itty Bitty”. In a few weeks I can put them together and eventually start introducing them to the rest of the flock. THAT is going to be an interesting challenge, too. Quarantine is important any time new animals arrive at the farmstead! Follow along to watch them grow and meet the rest of the flock!
An unexpected new arrival!

I started blogging as an attempt to keep my creative energy flowing and maybe to inspire others as well. Originally my posts were primarily about the adventures of our little Farmstead on the edge of west Texas. We have since moved to east Texas, along with ALL our farm critters and hobbies in tow! In addition to our animals, gardening and sewing/quilting many of my upcoming blogs will be about projects and adventures within the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). We were extremely active in this group for quite some time before we moved to Texas in 2007. Then life went sideways and we inadvertently became inactive for a number of years. With our recent move, we are once again living the Dream of "life in the current Middle Ages"! View all posts by Jessimond of Emerickeskepe
