We decided that it would be fun to get some chicks for the kids to enjoy for Easter. We got them so they could run around with the kids as they were doing their egg hunt. Claire has become obssessed with the chicks and wakes early in the morning to hold them, and this continues all throughout the day.....what did we get ourselves into? We told the kids we were only able to keep them for one week and they were ok with that. They have been living in a giant box in the garage and later this week some farmer on a farm out in this area is going to wake up to new baby chicks walking around..shhh! dont tell, but that is the plan to flop them over the fence of some farm, somewhere! The sad, or maybe not so sad part of this is I cant eat chicken nuggets, sandwiches, eggs anymore at this point. Maybe once they are gone my appetite for chicken will come back full force. Bummer!

I tried to leave a comment earlier to say, "now that is the granddaughter of a wildlife biologist"

Claire showed me and Zoe the chick when we came over the other day, and she told me that u guys were keeping it until it got big and letting it walk around in your backyard!!
