Spring Chickens!



My husband picked up our day old (some only hours old) chicks today from Fiddlehead Farm. We got 15 chicks and hope that enough of them turn out as hens to lay eggs for our three families. This is a heritage breed called Dorkings and they are soooo cute … they remind me of chipmunks with their stripes. Our daughter has visited them in the studio several times this afternoon and just had her final visit before bedtime.
