Fast Track to Salmonellosis

Six chicks joined our entourage during Easter week. They were NOT an impulsive Easter gift; in fact, we've been planning for a long time to get some laying hens. This was just my way of forcing my husband's hand.

Three are White Leghorns, three are Golden Comets.

They were cute and fluffy for a while.

Now they're gangly, scrawny, half-grown chickens.

You're not pretty.

Well, you're kind of pretty.

Mom, can I hold my chick?   You've gotta catch it first.

You can't hide in there forever, you know...

Oh, yes we can...

Dozing in the sunshine

Okay, now this is just ridiculous...
