New Baby Chicks!

[ChickDrmr]

We got our first ever baby chicks yesterday and let me tell you, I feel like a new mama again. Checking on them constantly, staying up late, getting up in the middle of the night and again early morning. Constantly researching every little quirk to make sure nothing's wrong. Oh, and just staring at them seems to be my new favorite past time. Eventually I'll relax, but probably not until they've been in the coop for a few months. Oh well, it's all good.

Oh, I wish I could help. I didn't hatch mine, got them from My Pet Chicken. I was so nervous to open the box when they arrived though. Luckily they all made it.

Best Wishes on your hatchlings.
