Every year we go to IFA and look at the chicks..this year we were excited to bring them home. We already have bees in the backyard...what's a few chickens right:) We eat a lot of eggs and love the learning experience for us and the kids and we finally have a home where it works.

| Choosing our chicks |
We each picked our own chick and got an extra for free since the chick couldn't be alone or something. On our way home with a box of 6 chicks I noticed the smell right off. They smell like dog poop actually, And they poop a lot.

| Our first night home with the chicks |
 |
| Maddies' chick Honey. Turns out he is cranky and she doens't like him at all:) |
Hawk
 |
| Technically Hawk is my chick, but the kids LOVE him. He is the smallest and doesn't freak out when they hold him. |
 |
| She holds him every day and rubs his belly. It has been less than 2 weeks and they are growing so fast. They already have little tail feathers and actual feathers out instead of just chick fluff they had when we got them. They are getting a lot more jumpy when we try to get them out of the box. Now a couple fo them try to taek flight and jump out of the box when i change the papers. Once weather gets warm enough they can go out to their coop. |
Hogle Zoo
We went during the crazy busy cake week and it was good to get away from the kitchen:) It was perfect weather and the kids had fun with their cousins.
