Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Chicks Are Here!! May 3/13


Papa's home with the chicks!! 


Trek to the chick barn! 


Waiting for chicks :) 


Empty brooder.


The new watering system! 


Hard boiled eggs, milk and Willards water. Good first foods for chicks!! 


Grit.. also know as stucco sand :) 


This years feed has CORN in it :) First time ever!!! 


G's first look!! Love at first sight!! 


Awww!!!! 


She was so excited she was clapping and squealing! 


They are EVERYWHERE!!! 


J had the job of keeping G sitting and helping her pet chicks.. not pick them up by the heads! 

My job was to pick up all the more lethargic ones and make sure they got a good drink. Man they are smart! Caught onto those waterers super fast!! 


Papa taking chicks out of boxes!! 


Figured that out right quick!! 


Happy kids holding chicks!! I love J3's face.


Chick jungle J!! The chicks loved his boots! 


R is in LOVE!! 


L loves the chicks too.. but as he mentioned.. 'they are so cute now, but one day we'll have to butcher them.. I don't like that part!' Such a soft hearted boy. 


G is surrounded!! 

Ok numbers, we ordered 400 unsexed Cornish giants and we received 416 chicks!! All were alive when they got here!! Only one looks a bit down and has a weird wing.. so we'll see how it does. They are also all pretty much the same size!! Maybe two or three that are a bit smaller.
