Chicks!

Not those kind of chicks.  What did you think I meant?

Six little strawberry blondes, Rhode Island Reds. We have a half-dozen black chicks reserved, too — Australorps, I hope.

Our four adults have returned to laying regularly again. If all the new girls make it, by this fall, we'll have eggs to give away again.

For now, it's a matter of keeping them warm and safe and fed and watered. I think they're covered.

    1. They are. Also noisy. :-)

      Also mildly wigged at the sudden change in their surroundings, but they seem happy enough with it. Amazing what constant access to food can do for one's mood, yeah? :-D

  2. Yep. Food, Drink, Shelter; three best things for mood I can think of (although I'd prefer something with some kick over water for the drink, LOL). :-)
