Unsecure chicken perches

[Eggquisite]

Hi fellow Omleteers,

 

Nearly twelve months after getting our first 5 Alpaca's all of which were boys - we have now moved onto a farm & after more training courses & learning as much as we can we took the plunge & bought two pregnant Alpaca's at the end of December who both arrived with us back in January

 

Our first Cria is due on the 12th March & the 2nd on the 17th March - so they really could arrive any day now

These will be our first & we're soooooo excited not to mention a little scared too.. hopefully everything will go ok.

 

Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us.. hopefully soon we'll have two heathy Cria's 'pronking' around enjoying the

spring sunshine (yippee spring is almost with us too )

 

Bye for now...

Oh my goodness, how cute will they be Please post photos as soon as you can

Good luck! Sure you'll be fine

Wow how exciting, hope the births go well. Do you know what colours to expect? Guessing it's dependent on mum and dads colours.

How exciting!!

[Eggquisite]

What a day....

 

Deciding to take a break from the 'pooper scooping' chores we stopped for a cuppa.. before starting again we strolled over to the girls paddock & on doing so noticed one of our girls seemed a little restless...

 

At 12.21 with the sunshine blazing down - it was time for our first baby cria to come into the world.. by 12.36 & after a text book birthing & out popped Barnaby

 

Just taking a rest after coming into the world..

 

My first steps..

 

Getting ready for bedtime...

 

What an amazing experience to watch unfold before our eyes

Oh, so cute, I just love little Barnaby's pyjamas!!!!

It's nice to hear that Barnaby is enjoying having a little sister, they are just so munchable!!!

[The Dogmother]

Gorgeous! And near me too - I shall keep an eye open for them

[Reikiranf]

They are absolutely adorable, I want to cuddle them!

[Chucky Mama]

Oh my they are the cutest They look so cuddly.

[The Dogmother]

Having stroked some at the Moreton Show, I can confirm that they are very soft, but quite shy.

[Eggquisite]

Claret, you're absolutely right they are quite shy creatures but with a very nosy nature

 

The Cria's coats are simply the softest we have ever felt - we're hoping for good things from them in the future

Just need to agree on a company name - that seems the hardest bit!

 

[The Dogmother]

A friend has some out near Edge Hill... I am insanely jealous

[LuckyChickenLover-]
