Things have been pretty busy the past few days around our place---we had baby chicks hatch! We had four different hens setting eggs. This group is just a handful of them. It was sure hard to get them to all slow down so we could snap a good picture.
Their mom, Chloe, wasn't too happy to have her babies removed from the nest, but she quickly changed her tune when we returned them.
These chicks are Rhode Island Reds. They will turn into a beautiful coppery, red color as they grow up. The hens will begin to lay eggs in the fall. They lay large, beige to brown eggs that are delicious scrambled or used in baking. We just love having fresh eggs.
