I am hoping they have mixed into a neighbor's free range flock and still might find their way home.<br /><br />I have finally taken the liberty to pet the kittens and they are as soft as silk. Their mama did not seem to mind. <br /><br />Sparkling Red<br />Don't they look like they fit together like little puzzle pieces? I love the way they seem to have an order to their square. And you are so right about King Kong. He has got a lot to learn about this major responsibility.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-11566436611083434932014-03-30T20:47:33.064-05:002014-03-30T20:47:33.064-05:00Thank you!

The kittens are entertainers ...Elephant's Child<br />The kittens are entertainers and the cats are workers. It is fun to see the kittens play with my dog Slim. You are so right about King Kong posturing. He reminds me of my nephew when he played football in elementary school. He was in it for the uniform and would lean against the wall all decked out in his outfit while the girls flocked around him. He never made much of a player but he sure looked good.<br /><br />Sara<br />Thank you for visiting me and I am glad you like the quote. David had only left her children so she could go eat. And yes, it does make interesting conversation as did my rooster named Britney and my hen named Mr. Gibson. <br /><br />Nancy<br />I do think they crossed the road Nancy but they went in a different direction. The went toward the other neighbors and either mixed in with their flock or were captured by a predator hidden in their field. One of the girls was back home last night and I am hoping the other two might find their way back today. Poor old Jack Bauer is really getting old. He is no longer the rooster in charge but he gets very special attention from his caregivers.<br /><br />Lee<br />I will soon lose sight of the kittens. David will hide them and it will be a while before she will bring them out in public again. I always worry when that happens and sometimes the mom doesn't return with all of the kittens. Never worry about a typo. Usually it can be figured out and no one judges you because we all do it. I am loving your comments and loving your blog. Will comment soon.<br /><br />Arkansas Patti<br />Oh yes, David has had a very active love life. However, I am going to make every effort to catch David and try to avoid her having another litter. A friend has suggested feeding her and Olive in a cat carrier so they will get used to it and when it is time, I can close the carrier and get them to the vet for spaying. I can't afford to do this with all my barn cats but David has sure done her part and Olive is fairly domestic and loving so I want to try.<br /><br />Susan Adcox<br />Aren't the kittens cute all intertwined with each other! I shall give King Kong your message. Lol<br /><br />Birdie<br />Wish I could ship you one of these when they are old enough.<br /><br />Talon<br />If you remember correctly, King Kong wasn't really very bright. Yes, kittens are sweetness.<br /><br />Riot Kitty<br />There was an egg in the kitten nest box yesterday so one of the hens got in there and laid an egg. Wish I could have seen how David reacted to that:)<br /><br />Snaggle Tooth<br />Yes Luke does look a little tortoise shell doesn't he/she. At first he looked very black. I wish I could get a good picture of Rooster Chicklet's legs and Rooster King Kong's legs. That is where you can really tell the age. Poor Chicklet looks like he should not even be able to walk on his bumpy and gnarled little legs.<br /><br />Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-10250311717926224832014-03-27T05:25:51.694-05:002014-03-27T05:25:51.694-05:00kenju

I am not giving up on the other two completely.<br /><br />Tabor<br />The cameras don't help when the chickens cross the road in front of the house. For some reason the “grass is always greener”....One had returned last night.<br /><br />Jeanie<br />The kittens are so cute that I can barely keep my hands off of them. One hen did return.<br /><br />Kerry<br />This is actually David's third litter. She only shows up for breakfast and when she has her kittens. The rest of the time she is very elusive. My cats are feral barn cats and very difficult to catch. One of her oldest from her last litter is named Olive and has become very friendly. It was my intention to try and capture Olive and have her spayed but it appears she is already pregnant. Our farm neighbors all compete for cats to keep our barns free of mice and so we feed them a little every day in hopes they will stay with us. It was not a dog that got my hens because dogs leave the evidence. It would have to have been a fox or hawk because they whisk away the entire bird. One hen has returned home.<br /><br />gigihawaii<br />Happy to make you smile Gigi.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-17499823623480601512014-03-27T05:20:49.007-05:002014-03-27T05:20:49.007-05:00It always cracks me up that David is a girl. :) ...It always cracks me up that David is a girl. :) I love your kitties - thanks for posting pics.<br /><br />I read this yesterday and then got interrupted at work.
