latest additions

Apparently, there is some truth to the expression "Spring Chicken" Now is the time to get the chickies. A couple feed stores in the Verde Valley had little colored ones for Easter. Max came home from school after hearing of this, and HAD to have a chick. SO, after a little searching(they're very popular), we found a store that had some baby chicks, and not the colored Easter kind. These are nicer, and we got a few different varieties(Ican't remember what now). A total of eight, most likely all hens. We'll add a rooster a little later. The woman was very helpful, and we got set up with water and food dishes, feed, and eight chicks for forty bucks. Not a bad deal. the boys spent part of their Easter money from Nana and Bapa on this little endeavor, so it's all theirs. We should have eggs by Halloween!
They will eat anything, and they're good exterminators. The chickens, I mean.

I don't think we'll be eating at KFC anytime soon.


OMG-are they CUTE or what?! We will try to handle them as much as possible so they stay tame.
