Scrambling

Just in time for Easter, we unexpectedly found ourselves with a brood of chicks yesterday. The kids are all too thrilled, and I'm scrambling to figure out how to care for these sweet little things. Three will go and live with Mike and Tricia once they are feathered out, and three will stay here. Since we go through about 18 eggs per week, these will be a great supplement. For now, we have six tiny chicks in our basement, being kid-handled a bit too much. I think they'll be very used to human touch by the time they go out to their coop.




Happy to join my posse of fellow urban farmers, Carrie and Deirdre!
