Chicken Surprise

Agriscience

Last Saturday, the teens got a huge surprise--Teresa brought in 10 baby chickens for the teens to help raise!  We had been planning to get chickens next summer, after we built a coop.  But Teresa's hen surprised her with 10 chicks on Thanksgiving morning, so we have chicks!  But we will not keep them full-time until we get the coop built next summer.  They will not be old enough to lay eggs until June, anyway.  The teens had a blast playing with their chicks and trying to teach the chicks how to perch.  They are only ten days old.  Check out the chick jungle gym below.

I can't see your photos. Maybe it's my computer. But I'll look on flickr soon. Super cute!
