Flighty-minded

As June began, so did a new project.

 We were going to hatch chicks! The 4-H office said that they were broiler eggs. Out of the dozen eggs we were given, four of them hatched. I named the oldest Peepers, then Cheepers, Fluffy and Muffy. Just a few days ago, Mommy and I were finally able to figure out that Peepers is a rooster, and that the others are hens. Today Peepers and Cheepers turned two weeks old. Tomorrow Muffy and Fluffy will turn two weeks also. I have enjoyed watching personalities (and feathers) develop within each chick. Their absolute favorite thing to do is to be outside. The one difficulty is that it is very hard to watch four little chicks who are extremely fast and have a tendency to scatter everywhere. Good thing Mommy is a complete GENIUS! She let the chicks run around in the raised garden beds.
