We Have Fallen In Love

About two weeks ago, we went to the store and came home with this little box.  Inside this box was something so precious.

We brought home nine little bundles of fluff.  They were so cute and tiny.  We all stood around watching their baby chick antics in amazement. 

They basically ate and slept when we first brought them home.  We could not believe how much they ate.  We lost two of them the first day.  The stress of being shipped can be really hard on baby chicks.  We were all so sad. 

One week later, they were eating twice as much food and they were twice as big, but still so cute.  And they are starting to grow feathers. 

But they still have enough fluff to make them adorable. 

And we still stand around their box watching them eat, sleep, play and peck.  We just love our baby chicks.  We have a few of the chicks named.   We have Gwen (Isaac's chick), Olive (Alyssa's chick), Katie (named after Alyssa's best friend), Joel's chick....we're hoping to change this poor chicks name, and Belle (Mom's chick).  We still have a few names to figure out.  Daniel is thinking about Nugget for his chick.  LOL  (Get it?  Chicken nugget???) These chicks are going to grow up and lay beautiful brown eggs for us to eat and to be our pets.  Joel has his chick trained to come and rub her head on his finger.  Who knew chicks were so trainable or affectionate.  This is Joel's chick.  She is so cute.  :-)
