Chicks-Day Two

Oreo
 We have survived our first 24 hours as chicken owners!  They chirped quite a bit in the early evening so the kids held them and the chicks fell asleep in their laps-it was so sweet.  When we all went to bed they quieted down and we did not hear them at all during the night.  Jacob came down from his room a couple of times because he did not want to sleep away from his chick.

 Bright and early this morning at 6:30 am, Jake was up, asking if he could hold his chick!  Before school they all took time to cuddle their little babies.

This afternoon we let them out in the back yard for a few minutes. 

We also checked out a few books from the library today also so we can learn as much as we can!
