chic(k)lit

rosalie

the past couple of weeks have been manic with the i have to get this down before school starts!s and the gotta get that done!s. add the final trips of the move and top with graduate orientation with its overwhelming thesisspeak and you have something that can only be calmed down yesterday with baby chickens. okay, it is girl logic, but we can get over it.

the sweet boy at the feed store said that the best way to socialize these pullets was to keep them in the house for a few weeks, so add socializing and you got a house on the crazytrain. this morning, we had to build a chick condo out of boxes, but this all gets clearer when you walk in and you see babygirl with her nose in a book and a chick in her lap. chic(k)lit at its finest.

we needed bebelife in the house to calm the squall of the schoolstorm. sometimes, you just do.

Oh Dawn, you did it!!! Wooohoooo...I couldn't be happier for you!! They are all adorable! What breeds are they? Looks like you might have a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Plymouth Rock fer sure. Maybe even an Easter Egger (the one with eyeliner) Can't tell what the others are. A colorful flock!!! I'm jumping for joy!!
