Ruth had eggs in an incubator - the day to hatch came and went, so today she went to buy a dozen baby chicks of varying colors. They arrived home to find that two of the eggs in the incubator were starting to hatch! I had to go over and grab some special pics. Mary will be 8 in a few days and now I have a wonderful special picture to use for her birthday. Amazing!
Then there is 5 1/2 month old Luke with a little speckled one. So tweety sweet!
Luke surrounded by a bunch of soft cuties - a black one on his lap looks pretty content to be there.
A heart warmer!
A soft warm chick needs a soft touch and Rose is doing a wonderful job! The yellow ones remind me of the baby chicks we had when their mom was a little girl!
Some of the varied colors they have...
Are you wanting to meet a one day old chick up close and listen to its' sweet tweet peep? - here is Rose introducing us to one... I had to quick grab it from her when she tried to put in down - like drop it! All is well. I think they were tired after the kids picked them up, but all were quite resilient and kids and chicks were fine. In the morning they will be going in to the Catholic school for a farm lesson along with a baby calf, baby kitties, and maybe a baby pig. It could get interesting keeping them safe and not handled too much. I will be the photographer along for the sessions - two 1/2 hour sessions - maybe in the school gym due to the cold returning.
The kitty's eyes are officially open. Two blue eyes = cute! Jesus, we trust in YOU. Bless-bless, Barb
