The Chicks are Ladies Now

The "chicks" are now "young ladies".  I cannot officially call them "women" until they start earning their keep.  Ya know what I mean (wink wink).

I thought you might like to see some pictures of them before...... and now.

  

 We have lovingly coined them "poopers"  I will spare you our reasoning.

Rick has nesting boxes on his honey-do list.  We are hoping to be in the egg business in a month or two.

Then I will be talking like Bubba in "Forest Gump".

".....hard-boiled egg, egg over easy, scrambled, poached, fried, egg benedict, omelet, hard-boiled, deviled eggs, ........and that's about it".

Ryan's Has Chicks!

Because we don't have enough mouths to feed at our house.............. we purchased 24 chicks!  

Ryan is in FFA (Future Farmers of America) and needed to have a project.  So, the chicks are "the project".  We bought 24 because that seemed like a nice even number and I was SURE that not all would survive!!!  We haven't lost a single stinkin' chick people.  Since they are all girl chickens, we should have lots and lots and lots of eggs!  So start saving your cartons friends.  

I have been lovingly teasing Ryan about his chicks.  I say, "Ryan, your chicks are cute!......... Ryan, the chicks love you!.......... Ryan, you sure have lots of chicks!".  He thinks I'm a nerd!  He thinks it's not funny.

But I do!!!!!
