You might’ve seen this picture on Facebook this morning…
I ordered this shirt for little miss and it came in yesterday – perfect timing! She giggled about it all afternoon because the chicken “looked silly with it’s hat and purse.” 🙂 She got to wear it to town today to pick up a very special delivery!
Baby chicks!
We ordered 100 red leg hens and they all arrived safe and sound. We have about 70 layers right now but they’re all about egged out, so it was time to renew the herd? Clutch? What is a group of chickens called? A brood or a peep, thank you, Google.
Sawyer handled every chick as she helped daddy count them all and help them get their first drinks of water.
They were absolutely smitten with her! Every time she ventured into her space, they’d crowd around her and just stay.
Wryder thought they were AWESOME! He’s gonna be a little chicken man, too, I’m thinking.
We had to have a few lessons on gentleness after he held one by the leg and waved it around, but he caught on quickly. (Don’t tell PETA).
They’ll be laying eggs in seven to eight months. Until then, I’m thinking I know some kids that will have some fun with them…a couple of adults, too; I could sit and watch them all day…
See why Wryder just wanted to squeeze ’em?!
Oh my gosh – how adorable!!! Chicks are the cutest and so are your children. <3
