Baby Chicks!

Grandma in January told Kenya that for her birthday she would give her baby chicks to help raise. Well, they finally came in this week and we went and got some. On Monday we went to Kalispell and got 2 turkeys and 9 chickens. She loved it! We make several trips a day out to the ridiculously hot laundry room (the chickens need to stay 90 degrees for the first week or so)to check on the the chicks and pet and hold them. She loves watching them and enjoys taking care of chicks. On Wednesday we went and got 6 more chickens. My mom is going to have quite a few chickens and lots of eggs! We got a variety of breeds and colors as well as some that will have tinted eggs. My baby LOVES animals. She is such a great help and eager to learn.

These are the other ones we got on Monday. They are less than a week old.
