A Morning at the County Fair

I promised my 14 yr old grandson I'd take him to the county fair.  We got there just in time for the rabbit judging.  He was a little confused that the rabbits all looked alike.  But the real reason we went was to see a particular woman that always brings her incubator with hatching eggs.  Of course she came through with a wonderful display of hatching ostriches, chicks and geese.
There was one little ostrich that hatched out a few minutes before we got there. This woman was so sweet...there were about six kids standing around watching but she opened the incubator and asked my grandson if he wanted to hold this little darlin'. He was soooo excited. I even touched his skin which was baby soft. Very unusual.

There heads had the most beautiful feathers.

 She has a rescue permit with the Texas Parks and Wildlife so she brought these two beautiful fawns.  The one in the back is a week old and the other is a month old.  They both just stayed in the crate.  She told us that when they get big enough to jump fences, she releases them back in the wild.

                     Aren't these guys adorable?  I think God put them here just to be cute!Happy Trails...

  2. Oh they are all cute! I can't resist babies of any kind of animal (except maybe reptiles...) the last ones are alpacas, right? My son & his wife said there are lots of those in New Zealand. Wish I did wool and such - they ARE very cute. So are the deer... I'll bet your grandson loved it!

  3. The woman with the incubator and fawns does a good thing for children who don't know otherwise just how chicks come out of their shells. The llamas are soooo cute.

  8. Cool. I like to see chicks hatch out. Kinda ugly looking when they first come out, but drying off does wonders.
    The deer are cute. Sounds like a nice time at the fair with your grandson.
