After our fun introduction to chickens last spring, our home felt a little empty this year without chicks. So...we went down to IFA and picked up a couple. This time we have 2 Red Stars we have named Ruby and Sapphire. And we're hoping to get a California White sometime this week. This video was taken the day I brought them home. It was pretty spontaneous, and the children were all suprised when we came in with a box of loud peepers. Brynlee was so cute with them. She was laughing and just dying to hold one.
We've had so much fun with them. Rick built a better lid for the brooder and with Jaeda a year older, it's been a lot more of a carefree experience.
When the weather warmed up a bit, we went outside and found baby spiders and had fun watching the chicks chase after each other to fight over the spiders. Here is a video of them fighting over a worm we brought in for them.
