We had a baby today!!!!!!

I noticed Ming ming sitting in her food bowl and thought it was weird, but when I heard little squeaking noises I went to go check her. She had just given birth to this wet scary looking bloody fur ball.  Even though it was ugly I was so excited I couldn't stand it!

45 min later the girls got off the bus and Haley got to hold her new little baby. We will not know if it's a girl or boy for several weeks... of course I am hoping for a girl.

After 5 hours it was licked clean, dry and walking around the cage. I love that chinchillas come out fully cooked with open eyes and all their hair. After a few hours look how cute!!!! From the way it bounces around the cage, I think it's happy to be here.

In other very sad news today Lucy came home from school with a fever and throwing up and two of our big chickens died. They got their necks stuck in a tight space. I guess you could say curiosity killed the cat and chickens. So sad. Ruby sat next to the coop crying for over an hour.
