The Chicks Are Here


At 6:01 this morning we got a call from the post office letting us know that our chicks were ready to be picked up.  Shube, Caleb, Matthew and I hightailed it over there and were back with the tiny box of chicks.



One of them was obviously not doing well when we got them into our brooder.  Already the others were pecking and even walking over her.  We had to kill that one.  One other seems to be just standing around, not really very active.  The others seem to being doing pretty well.  We'll keep you updated.




Lucy didn't really want to hold one, but still wanted her picture taken.  She wasn't going to take her eyes off of that chick.

Fun. You guys have the late February skin color that we're sporting here as well. Bring on the spring sunshine.

Exciting!! I can relate to Lucy. I never wanted to touch my grandma's chickens either:)

Andy - I showed the pictures to our girls and it was immediately evident they now know what it is to be jealous.
