Chickens are everywhere

Big news in the Almeida chicken coop this week - two new baby chicks hatched!

The kids are thrilled with the new additions to our flock and telling everyone they know about the hatching. And I think they have spent more time in the coop than our house for the past few days.

I had never seen a live hatching before and I have to say, it was pretty cool.

At least it's warm and the baby chicks can be out in the coop with the mother chicken. This past June, the chicks Fino and the girls ordered from the feed store took up residence in our basement bathroom for two weeks because it was too cold outside in the coop for them. Let's just say that farm animals should not live in the house. Nothing is cute about them until they move out.

Wow....how exciting! I know how the girls are and am very surprised that G hasn't wanted to camp out with the chicks!

It's good to hear the Almeida Motley Crew of farm animals is growing by leaps and bounds! Cousin Lauren is a fan of chicks, too.
