We picked up an interesting package at the post office yesterday morning.
TWO boxes full of fluffy yellow CHICKS!
There is definitely some “cuteness overload” going on in today’s video.
Enjoy!

The Chickens are OUT! But First, A Surprise!
Happy Friday! I love Fridays, don’t you?
My sister, Anna, and I made another video this week about moving our chicks from the brooder out to pasture. We also had a surprise this week, and I included that in the video.
Hope you have an amazing weekend!

Lots and Lots of Chicks! (153 to be exact!)
Good Morning from Never Done Homestead!
It’s a dreary, raining morning here, but we’ve made a short, cheery movie to brighten your day. It’s filled with cute, baby peeps so it’s sure to make your morning happy!
Enjoy!

Spring Chicks
The first of the spring chicks are here! There are 153 Cornish Cross chicks and 10 Reich’s Golden Reds layer pullets in the brooder.
I called the post office a little after 6 this morning, and confirmed that our chicks were there. The chicks must have been creating a lot of noise because the lady that answered the phone didn’t need to go check, she knew!
After Mom and Anna brought them home, Anna carefully transferred them from their shipping box into the brooder. She told me these chicks are very lively and healthy looking. Yay! (And why aren’t I out there seeing for myself? Half our family, including myself, is down with the flu.😕)
At this age, the chicks don’t need much fussing over. In fact, too much fussing over them is stressful, and stress is amazingly detrimental to baby chicks. They just need a warm, dry place with plenty of food, water, and grit.
It’s now officially spring in my mind. There are chicks in the brooder.
