Cheep Shots!

Meet our new chicks! Ordered 6, but got 10 instead...couldn't resist! The wee ones are chirping blissfully in their temporary cardboard box home and not pecking each other too much, which is good. They are very active and take tiny naps in between eating, drinking and general scratching and pecking activities. The girls did a great job naming our little hens and we are so glad to welcome them here.
