Without a few baby chicks?
We are now the proud owners of 4 Easter Egger Chicks. They don't have names yet they kids are still deciding, but since we don't know if they are hens or roosters it may be a while before they are properly named. If they happen to be hens, they will lay eggs in shades of blue and green, that's why they are called Easter Eggers. One of them has been having a little trouble walking and keeps falling into the water dish and can't get back out, good thing we have nurse Schydi, she has been constantly nursing the little thing back to health. She dires it off when it's wet, and holds and cuddles it then places it every so lovingly under the light to keep it warm. :-) It is looking really good this morning, it is up walking a little shaky, but walking and eating, so there's good news. Never in a million years did I think I'd be a chicken farmer, but so far it's been fun to watch them and to watch the kids with them.

Ahh too cute and I hope you get colored eggs! That will be much better than a walking alarm clock.
I would love to have chickens. Lucky!
They are so cute. I would love to watch Schydi with them.
