baby chicks.




Daddy brought home 30 baby chicks today.




And the kiddo's can't get enough of these cute little birdies.




They spent hours in the barn last night watching, holding, petting and squealing at them. They even had to tuck them into bed last night.




Our little boy loves to hold and snuggle them, while our little girl would rather just pet them and squeal from afar.




But who wouldn't love these cute little chicks. Just look at those sweet, fluffy little feathers. I just wish these cute little birdies would stay this small forever.



However, in a few months these cute little chicks will turn into big birds that will fill our freezer. Sorry all of you vegetarians out there, that is just how we do things in our house.

  2. Oh, they are so sweet! And after all that cuteness, that last line really got me--I had to laugh out loud at the sudden change from "aren't they darling" to "we're gonna eat them up" :-)

  3. Ha!!! I'm a vegetarian & find nothing wrong w/ that!!! I raise my kids to be meat-eaters like my husband. It's easier that way. ;) By the way, please keep us updated on your health!

  4. so cool! I would love to read more posts about how you raise your own meat! I would like to be able to do that one day, especially chicken cause our freezer is always full of deer meat. And how do you explain that to your kids?
