Here’s five baby bunnies snuggling together to brighten your day! One of them is always hiding behind the others!

Whenever I come down from the kitchen, the chickens hear the door and come running, just in case I have food for them… and I often do. So then it is funny when they are chasing me in hopes of food they won’t get!

It’s awesome to be able to send our leftovers straight out to the chickens, save for a few things that they can’t eat!

Brie was working hard to sweep the dirt out of the back of the truck, and it wasn’t going fast… UNTIL daddy had an idea to speed things up!

Most of the time the chickens lay in the nest, but occasionally they find their own nest. This one we didn’t find right away, hence the 12 eggs there!

Some of our family think our Turkin (no neck feathers) is ugly. I (Laura) think she is a conversation starter. We have all come to love her in her own unique way. What say you?

Love how bunnies are completely still if they can’t see you… cause that means you can’t see them… right? Baby bunnies are getting big!!

We found this bird right in the middle of the park. On the ground. Where everyone is! She was ready, however, to defend her nest!

We got a Snap Circuits Jr box a few years ago at a garage sale. There were some parts missing or not working, I don't remember which, but overall, it was a good buy. The kiddos enjoyed it and I liked the opportunity for them to learn something more in depth through play. This box says age 8, but you could potentially let youngers play with it, as we did. We got a more advanced box a few years ago, which maybe we will report on later! Toys like this are great for every kid, and especially great for homeschoolers when you are looking for things to occupy their days and times that double as play and teaching at the same time. This one is fun. After my overview, Jase comes in at the end to make one of the lessons. #homeschooling #homeschool #parenting #educationaltoys #parentinghack #homeschoolhack #steamactivites #steamactivity #steamtoys #toys #toyreview

I was a little surprised how the mama bunny and her babies went CRAZY for food this morning! They devoured the watermelon rind. I also love being able to throw away less because food scraps are given to our bunnies or chickens.

What in the world do you think this duck was doing on the roof? Hilarious. Surveying the city and seeing nothing of interest, I’m sure.

My friend got goats. Aren’t they just the cutest?

This age… I can’t get enough of the bunnies so tiny! Love them.

Found this old video on FB... and yes, from now on, I will delegate all vacuuming to the person who it makes the most happy! #family #familyadventures #familyadventure #homeschooling #familyfirst #familyfun #familyentertainment #entertainment

I love baby bunnies at this stage. They are so adorable eating and climbing over each other to get food.

Usually the ducks are all quacking at the same time. Not today! I got one chattering by himself. Wonder what he is saying. Probably looking for his buddies!

So glad the kids are now doing the job of cleaning them! I’ve been surprised at how delish these taste!

So, we were taking pictures of the ducks for school, and I couldn't see all of them. Around the duck coop, I heard a weird noise. Thinking one of the ducks had randomly gone back to the coop, I went to find a duck inside and couldn't see anything on the ground. I left, since I still heard the noise, and then went around the coop. I confirmed that there wasn't anything back there, so I went ahead and went back INTO the coop, and look what I found. Animals can be hilarious. Especially because I am pretty sure this was the same chicken poking around here earlier today. We have never personally seen them inside the coop until today.

Chickens always come to the door when they think they are going to let out to free range. They are hilarious!

Snuggling is a must for these little buddies!

Chickens always end up in strange places!

An oldie, but a goodie - little Brie washing Tucker with her bubble gun. About the Wegeners: Homesteading. Homeschooling. Raising animals. Raising kids. Baking. Hunting. Fishing. DIY projects. We're always asking ourselves: why not do it ourselves?

We finally found a way to keep chickens eggs clean! Wood shavings instead of straw in their nesting boxes. The ducks are another story because they lay their eggs in about five different nesting spots of their choosing!

I caught this moment on camera of our two runner ducks being separated by a fence and the one in the coop didn’t know how to get out!

Ok, as soon as I heard Erik was going to cut a rope without a knife, I knew he was up to something… and it worked!
