The things "they" don't tell you about baby chicks...

Oh yes! In my case it was the craft room and I couldn't wait to get those stinky dusty buggers outside. Then I couldn't sleep the night (or month) I put them out and missed the peeps. I still need to fully clean the room and it's been about 3 months.

That once you have one, you have to have EVERYONE else's breed too!

Also, I guess chick puddle is a good word, but mine looked more like a chick carpet. They still sleep together instead of roosting and they're 19 weeks old.

When you see your 15 pound Plymouth White Rock Rooster you think of the days he was a wee little turd and wonder how he got this way in only 8 months.

You see Guinea babies at the feed store and WANT TO TAKE 'EM ALL HOME.

More pics of the drop....

Also....that their crops fill up and they look like uni-boob birds!

Even though you read about this stuff, you have a moment of panic the first time you experience it!

That when you're reading their favorite place to cuddle is right under your chin... so cute!!!
