My first chickens, one week old.

I just had to share, because my friends and family are getting a little tired of daily chicken texts. When we got the eggs and incubator, it was supposed to be more of a science project with a practical purpose. Never thought I would get so attached to these little guys. ;-)

Little, the first to hatch and by far the friendliest. Anytime I put my hand in the brooder to change the water or feed them, she hops right on. In the background is Tiny Dancer, the last chick to hatch.

From top to bottom, Tiny Dancer, Little and Taylor Chick.

It's so fun watching them grow and change, I think I'm hooked.

You are SO hooked. Of course! Look how sweet they are. People just don't understand how adorable chickens are unless they experience them first hand. I share more about my chicken here where people are more likely to appreciate how great chickens are.

They are lovely!
