Baby Chicks

John called Ace Hardware...they said they were getting baby chicks on Wednesday...guess where we were on Wednesday?  The chicks are $2 and they are so precious...today they are 4 days old...that's 4 days out of the shell!  God is so incredible!  When they are only $2, it is hard not to buy a lot..we got 8.  Once they get big, we will give about 3-4 away if they all live.  These are the youngest ones we have ever had....maybe it is because I have baby fever right now, but I'm in love..they are so sweet and so delicate and so precious!  We already had a brooder for them so all we needed was some chick food and we were set.  8 new pets for under $20!  The kids take care of them so it isn't that hard of a job.  Did you know that if there poop gets stuck on their bottom and clogs their passage, they can die..gross huh...well Emily and her Daddy cleaned all of their bottoms yesterday for an hour...cut the hair and scrubbed their bottoms.  The things you learn on youtube!  That's our science for the week ~

Their names this time:  Eleanor (black one), Gideon (black one), Reagan (striped brown one), Lily (light yellow one), Bear Grylls (dark brown one), Captain (yellow one), Bo (yellow one), Ivy (light brown one)
