Baby chicks

Just when you think you have enough babies to take care of, it's time to add more chicks to the flock. Our older chickens are almost 4 years old now and really slowing down with egg production. So meet our new family members. 10 super cute baby chicks! George and Senora think they are play things of course. Good thing the kittens were moved our to the chicken coop on day two that we had them. Dave and I were both too allergic to have them in the house. They are LOVING it out there and are now out roaming with the chickens every day. They baby chicks however will have to be in the house under a heat lamp for a while until they get some feathers. Away from dogs, cats and many other potential predators that reside here. They are the only "chicken" allowed in my kitchen!
