Day 25/365: New batch of chicks

Chick foursome, originally uploaded by splingermoosebutt.

My sister Kris has taken to raising chickens lately. She hatched some chickens a couple of months ago using an incubator. Today, she came home with a box full of more baby chicks. She was quick to explain that only 7 of them are hers; she's raising the rest for a friend. Here are four of the bravest. They were the first ones to leave the corner and begin to explore the chicken coop. Too bad they grow up to be stupid adult chickens. They're very cute when they're this little. For more pictures of the other babies, see my flickr photostream.
