Hot Chicks

I picked up 8 new chicks from the feed store. We were down to 8 anyway, as another one of our old hens died last week, and we can't keep up with how many people want to buy eggs anyway, so hopefully this will all work out. In this batch were four New Hampshire Reds, Two Araucanas, and two Andalusian mix chicks. I'm half hoping one will be a rooster as pretty as the one we had last year, but don't tell anyone else.

So now they're all huddling under the heat lamp, recovering from the traumatic experience of a truck ride in a cardboard box.  Cute little buggers.
