Farmgirl Inspection
It's hard to believe that Whitey's not-so-little-anymore chicks will already be two months old on Saturday. It's been so much fun watching them grow up, especially since I've never had a mother hen raise a flock of chicks before.
I've been taking lots of photos, but I seem to have gotten a little behind sharing them (so what else is new?). I've been sorting through them all and figured I'd just randomly post some of my favorites, like these two, which were taken back on June 24th. This is the chick that started out pale yellow. They sure don't stay small and fluffy--or even the same color--for long. Feathers simply appear out of nowhere.
All seven chicks are doing just fine, but a lot of the photos aren't very good. Baby chickens do not like to stand still.

M. Donna,
It's amazing how quickly they grow up. I think it's due in part to all the gourmet meals I've been serving them! I know I've never seen such shiny feathers on chickens before. ; )
Hi Jennifer,
Yes, Whitey has been a wonderful first-time mother, especially considering she's 7-1/2 years old and should technically be dead! She's taken really great care of all of the chicks and taught them well--we have some new foodies with attitudes in our midst! ; )
