Our chicks arrived!

And they are soooo cute! We have 25 tiny Buff Orpingtons and 1 exotic that they threw in for good measure (we have NO idea what she is, but she is taller, darker with pretty markings, and leapy! Oh, and she has furry legs, whereas the Orps don't):

The chicks arrival!

Looky what's inside!

The brooder, pre-chicks:

Now, all the chicks (and soon all their poop!):

And a very interested party!

They are so cute, and just when you think they've all died (cuz they all lay down and it looks like a patch of buff-colored carpet!), they all pop their little heads up and start peeping! The boys are so excited... as is Sam the cat!

It's hard to look at these tiny, cute fur balls and know that some of them will be chicken parmesan!

Be patient with our posts as we have had a HORRIBLE time getting consistent internet connection (go figure, up on this mountain!) We miss everyone! Thanks for following us!

Carey! The farm IS beautiful! So are the chicks and the cat! LOL The WR&A Cherry tree that the guys gave you looks like it will live a happy life up there!

When are you getting in that pond? It looks great so go on in! :-)

Oh...I was going to tell you that my brother had the same problem with his internet g4gadget up in Bumpass, Va. He got some kind of antenna to boost his signal through Verizon and now he has a much better connection. I'm guessing that there aren't a lot of cell towers where you are either.
