The Chicks Are Here!

The fluffy bundles of baby chick goodness have arrived!  Due to some scheduling overload this summer, my parents decided to only go with 100 birds. The plan is to butcher the weekend after July 4th.

I know that they grow up to be really, really ugly.  And by then, I'll be ready to butcher them. But they sure are cute at this age!

Ellie and Jeffrey agree.

So did Sydney.  But she was a little to eager to squeeze the babies.  So she had to settle for just petting them carefully. 

Let the increased farm chores begin....it's chicken time!
