Baby Chicks

Once we got the pig settled in to her new pasture, it was time to get our yearly order of baby chicks from the hatchery. Mommy orders 50 at a time and they come in a cardboard box which our mailman delivers. Usually we get one batch, but this year Mommy and Daddy decided to get two batches because Matthew eats so much and we do not want to run out of chicken before next year!

When the chicks arrived Mommy put them on the floor next to my heat vent so they would stay warm until she and Daddy were ready to transfer them to the brooder.

Here I am, keeping an eye on them, just in case something tries to get them. They sure do make a lot of noise!
