The hen house is moving right along. Joey got tired of helping his grandpa paint so he built a "bee trap" to keep the bees from stinging his grandpa.

 Joey makes sure that the stakes are level just like his grandpa taught him.

Joey's hard work pays off. All the bees took off when they saw the trap.

 Joey has done such a great job with his chicks that his Grammy and mommy bought him three ducklings.

This is Stripes. We don't know if Stripes is a male or female. But, we do know that this duckling is a Mallard.

We aren't sure if these two little Pekin ducklings are male or female either. But we do know that they are awfully cute and fluffy. Their names are FeatherAnn (lighter yellow) and Webbie (darker yellow).

All three ducks love cuddling with Joey. He keeps them warm and gives them lots of attention.

 FeatherAnn looks very content. If you look closely it looks like Stripes is smiling.

Joey is loving all the spring chicks and ducklings. But most of all for Easter this year, he really wants to color eggs with his golden egg kit that his grammy bought him.
