This is a picture of the chicks at about a week old.

Aren't they cute?  They didn't stay cute for long.  They grew fast, and soon we needed to move then into their big chick coop. 

Here is D inside the chicken tractor, which was their "nursery", catching the chicks and passing them out. 

And N moving the chicks to their new home.

They have so much more room now.  You see how they've gotten ugly?  Some of them look like hawks. 

Our neighbors gave us four chickens about a month ago - two hens and two roosters.  Two days ago, we found an egg from one of the hens.  And a little over a week ago, Mrs. Duck started laying.  That is very exciting news around here.  Our four hens do not produce enough eggs to feed this family.  Now that we have two more birds contributing, that will help a lot. 

And that wraps up this edition of Fowl News.
