Frustratingly I've been unable to do much of anything for the last week and a half... For one week I was completely bed ridden, and during this time Ben went off and got some chicks.... He's been so excited about this - as have I. Sadly I couldn't go with him to get them, but the box was carried up to my room so I could look at the little fluff balls when they came home. A week has gone by and they've grown like stink. I'm now able to go outside for a bit and putter around, so I finally got some photos of our new feathered friends. The bigger ones are 4 weeks old and in their "ugly" phase for sure... The little ones are 2 weeks old now and still quite cute although their adult feathers are starting to "sprout". In another 12 weeks or so, we might start having some fresh eggs! Omelette anyone?
Ben has officially been fired from the "egg collecting" position after my "little" discovery in the hay barn today! Haha. The position has been turned into a "job share" and will be done by Peter and Justin now.... Shameful - really! Hahahaha!
