I didn't order new chicks this year because with all of the other things we had going on this spring I just didn't think we could handle 25+ new chicks.Well, yesterday B sent me an email telling me that there was someone in Ann Arbor with chicks listed on craiglist. They had ordered fifty!.... I think you know what happened after that. I contacted them and told them I would be interested in five chicks. On the way to town I thought I might get seven. I left their home with ten chicks in a box!
P had been asking about us getting baby chicks again. I do enjoy the fun of the new chicks. It is cool here today but we did take them out for a little fresh air. The big hens, last years chicks, came over to see what all the excitement was about.
And so the cycle continues.We have some other farm chores in addition to tending the new chicks. I bought a flat of Michigan strawberries yesterday and have started refilling the freezer with strawberry rhubarb pie fillings. Our peas will be ready for harvest soon so we will be having some pea shelling evenings soon. I hope the weather clears off so that we can shell peas in the evening by an outside "camp" fire. Ahh, family time.
