On the Move



Today, as my mom decided, was the day to move the chicks from their home in an appliance box, to their Taj Mahal coop. My goodness they are chicken. They scatter every time we try to pick them up. I don't think they quite get the hang of human speech. We were trying to be very calm and reassuring toward them while telling them to hurry up and get in the cat carrier so we could get out of our 100 degree garage. My goodness, they sure are rowdy and chicken.




This is the majority of the 22, scattering
at the sight of me and my camera.




This is my younger brother, JD.
He is very happy to have caught his chick, Nadia.



Here are a few of our girls checking out their new home.

Here I am, letting a few chicks out of the cat carrier.

Here is C, calling for the chicks attention.



Here is Joey, checking out the newest members of the barn.



All the chicks in their new home.

Life out here is, well... simply country

Man those chicks are big! I know they will love being outside. I will not be long before you will be getting eggs. We stopped at a house today along the road and purchased a dozen brown eggs. They were very large and cost us $ 3.00.
