Currently, my craft room is home to my sewing machine, craft supplies, gift wrapping supplies, 3 incubators and 7 ADORABLE baby chicks. I had a great hatch and ended up with 1 LF Brahma, 3 SLW [silver laced wyandottes] and 3 English Orpingtons [who hatched just 2 days ago]
Little balls of fluff that they are, I just love taking them out back and letting them run around, stretch their legs and play 'keep away' with whatever leaf, insect or piece of twig they can find.
Since they are so young, I don't like to let them on the grass [for fear of them catching something from the dogs, ponies or other chickens] and considering they are all >1 week old, they can't stay out very long or they will get cold.
Baby chicks are lots of things; cute, fluffy, chirpy, cuddly. They are also famous for showing your camera their fluffy little butts every time you zoom in for what would be, the cutest picture of a baby chick on the face of the earth.
They'll be ready to live outside in just a few weeks, but until then, enjoy some pictures.
This is my little mystery chick. She's supposed to be blue, black or splash...but she came out Wheaton. It will be interesting to see what she looks like when she feathers out.
