The new recruits


I wasn't going to order chicks this spring, but then on a whim I went ahead and did it anyway.

I'm glad I did.

Mama Pea said...

What a delightful little looking bunch they are! Why can't they stay at that stage for a while? 'Course, how would be get eggs (or fried chicken!) then?

I'm so glad you did too! Bethany and I will love looking at all of the little darlin's!!! We're hoping for another batch of kittens to search for! Can't wait to see you next Tuesday afternoon!

Bob -- No!!!

The chicks are growing quickly. They are nearly four weeks old and are in the midst of the ugly stage, where most of the down has fallen out but not all of the feathers have come in. I've forgotten just how much those little fuzzballs can eat and drink over the course of a day!
