I was at a 4-H meeting when I received a call from home, "Mary's squeezing out the third. You might want to come home." Mary was kidding...triplets again! By the time we got back about an hour later, the kids were nearly cleaned up, and they were walking around. Usually the kids wait a day or two before leaving the barn, but these guys are ready to roll. They've already left the barn and been to the chicken coop. There are two girls and a boy, named Rachael, Alex, and David. We already had a cat named Luke for those three's brother, so the names fell easily.
They nursed right away. They are so very sweet, and the mother is great. They needed naps, and slept quite a bit. Being born is hard work.
I thought this would give you an idea of how small these miracles are. They are dwarfed by the chickens.
You can't get all three together at once. They will keep this momma hopping.
