Our new babies!

Well chicks that is. They are so cute. Dave was able to get the chick nursery done Friday afternoon and evening with the boys. They were out there until 8:45 working on it in the chicken/duck house. I guess we could start calling it the poultry house. Saturday morning Dave took the 3 older kids to Coastal Farm to pick out our chicks. They were having 5 free chick day if you bought some starter feed, which we needed anyways, so why not get free chicks too. I was at home with Lily Mae and we were watching Addie, our niece, for the day. When we were ready to put them into their new home we captured some fun pictures. Oh by the way we ended up with 15 of them. Crazy I know. But I'm sure we can find people who would want some eggs every now and then. We go through a lot of eggs when we scramble. We can't keep up with our duck eggs though, primarily because the boys are the only ones who eat them. So if you, or you know of someone who, wants duck eggs, please let us know. Enjoy the pictures. They are so cute.

  1. Oh they're soooo cute! I love chicks. We had a blast hatching chicks last year. They are so much easier than ducks. We can't do the duck eggs now that we found out Mason is violently allergic... but we are definitely interested in chicken eggs :) Have fun with them and invite us out soon so we can play with them (and your kids :) before they get too big :) Miss seeing you!
