Chicks

I realize that not everyone celebrates when they actually follow through with something that they had been talking about/planning on doing, but we do. After months of talking about raising some baby chicks to produce our own eggs we have finally done it and we are VERY excited. After a few phone calls to local feed stores to find out who sold aracauna chicks we finally found someone who did. We headed out to the local feed shop and spent some time looking at all the different chicks.

The man working at the feed store seemed a little confused when we questioned him to make sure we bought the chickens that lay the pretty blue eggs.

He was even more confused by use when I pulled out my camera and started taking pictures. You can guess how he responded when he went to put the chickens in the trunk and i told him we were going to carry them on our laps. If only he knew that we were keeping these teenage chickens inside the house.

A few more months and we will have fresh pretty blue eggs every day!
