The chickens are here

Yesterday morning I got a call from the post office letting me know that the baby chicks I had ordered arrived. Twenty-eight baby chicks, less than a week old, arrived from central NM in a box smaller than a shoe box. It was a long and scary ride but most of them made it through in good shape. Right now they are living in our basement on a bed of wood shavings under a heat lamp. They are destined to live on the farm and graze in the fields, the good life for a chicken. I plan is to have a mobile chicken coop built for them within a few weeks.
