And NOW we have baby chicks!!

We are very soon going to have to do more social engineering! Well, in 4 weeks, when the baby chicks are ready to go outside! We incubated 15 eggs. One died at birth (we 'helped' it too much). Another is looking poorly, having been trampled(we weren't here to help it 'a little.' He-she may not make it. And 3 have yet to hatch after 24 days. So we have at least 10 viable little additions. There's a fellow down the street that wants 5 or 6 of them. So that is 4 or 5 for us to integrate into our flock. We'll have to start thinking about it...
