Chicks dig chicks! and little dudes like them too:

This is W's birthday present from me... her name is Soft.

On Tuesday of last week our family became the proud parents of 9 baby chicks... On Thursday, we were still proud, but there were only 8... And now a week later, all 8 girls (we hope) are thriving in their brooder box home. The kids adore the babies, and as for myself, I'm smitten. I  can just sit and watch them for hours. And sometimes, I do.

the chicks love to sit on his neck- maybe because it's warm and sticky?!

it's all fun and games until someone poops on your shoulder...

She is so happy... I love this smile!

"Soft"

the ones that didn't make it...
