My neighbor Bruce stood at my back kitchen door with a peeping cardboard box, and knocked, and suddenly the time was at hand. I thanked him, took the box, and busied myself with newspaper and a heat lamp, chick starter and water mixed with a little corn syrup. I'd been preparing for this a long time.
Like, my whole life? I'm so happy the day is here.

I love the little "peep, peep, peep" sound they make. Nothing like the soft, fuzzy joy that is baby chicks.
So super sweet. Their names are terrific!
congratulations on your new arrivals. <3 mama hen.
