Nine Days Old

Can you believe they are 9 days old already? They still haven't figured out they can each have a side of mom. Poor Diva.

Sammi said it was so hot today she could just die. I actually thought she did till she heard the cookie bag and come running.
Killer has turned out to be a awesome mother hen. She is teaching her little chick all the things it will need to survive. I am very proud of her even if I still have marks from where she bit me while showing our weekend company her chick. She came at me full force but at least our guest know how she got her name!
I have spent the day looking for my AWOL iguana. We put Bud in his summer home but had forgotten we had loosened a board on the back side to get eggs out when we had a hen in there last week. He was sunning in his yard when I left to get goat feed and gone when I returned about 30 minutes later. We have searched the trees, under all the buildings, in the woods, on the neighbors no trespassing property, but no Bud. William thinks he made a run for the swamp and if he did we will never find him. I am hoping he will come back. I have left the board off and his heating pad on and his food and water ready. I have even went out with a flashlight to see if I see eyes shining in the trees. I am just sick he is missing but glad its hot right now so he won't get a chill. The handyman has been searching under the house and under everything he sees . He is afraid Bud will come out and surprise him. Bud knows Wayne is afraid of him so I wouldn't be surprised to hear Wayne scream if he finds him. I promise to take photos of my jewelry tonight. I have been outside all day so haven't had a chance. It has been so hot I have emptied all the water buckets several times today so I could give everyone fresh cold water. The goats drank 3 5 gallon buckets almost empty. Hopefully we will get rain and a cool spell soon instead of this record breaking heat.
