It's been a while since we've had our little farm. Yesterday we decided to start with chickens. Aren't they cute?
The kids helped pick out the mix of chickens. We got a total of 8 (one was sick and didn't quite make it to this morning though). Three of them have a chance to be roosters though...we won't know until they grow. 
The kids are already pros now. They know the baby chicks need to stay warm using a heat lamp..."hot...don't touch!"
They need plenty of water...
And food too.
Our neighbor, Sean, brought over his 4-wheeler yesterday to check out our chickens. Marcus LOVES this 4-wheeler. Every time Sean starts it up Marcus runs outside and screams his name. Sean is so nice, he always brings it over so Marcus can have a ride around our field. 
Emma loves it too. She keeps telling Daddy he needs to work more to get money to buy a 4-wheeler. One day she found some change on the counter and said "Hey, maybe we can use this money to buy a 4-wheeler". It was totally out of the blue...when she knows what she wants, she finds a way to get it.

Baby Chicks are a sure sign of SPRING! Cute photos - can't wait for the fresh eggs!
Baby Chicks!! I remember when I would get eggs for my class and we would hatch our baby chicks. I loved playing with those fuzzy little critters. Looks like the kids do too.
