While we continue to make improvements to the chicken coop and yard, we have started raising the new flock from chicks, planned to coincide with my mom's visit so we'd have help tending to them in the first week (although it ends up being they are more entertaining than troublesome).
They are so cute. The pictures above are from their first day here, which would have been just their third day of life. They were hatched on Monday June 29, so are just over a week old. Soon, more pictures. Unfortunately they make such a mess in such a short time, it's hard to get a photo before they've sullied up their bedding! They are now on rice hulls; the paper towels were just for the first couple of days (until they learned the difference between food and bedding).
