The phone rang at 6:15 yesterday morning. Normally I would be put off, but not this time. We knew exactly who was calling. Katie and I washed the sleep out of our eyes, put on our shoes and headed out to the post office. It was so early that we had to go in the back door to sign for our peeping box. Miss K carried it out and gave me updates of beaks sticking out the whole way home.
Oh the excitement when we got home and opened the box. Eleven little chickies were peeping away in there!
These little chicks have been a source of endless entertainment. We love how they sometimes pass out standing up or sleep face down in the bedding. They sleep for about 30 seconds before another one comes running at full speed with their wings flapping and steps right on top of them. Oh and that little leg/wing stretch that they do. They are too cute and we love them already.
