The Chicks Arrival

 Not sure if I will be able to concentrate enough to do this post but I'll try. Our little chicks showed up today and they are the cutesiest little things ever! The pictures really don't do them justice. 
We set them up in the house for now, it took a few trys to find a spot that works well. Hazel is quite intrigued about the chicks but tends to scare them when she bangs on the box...


Tucked behind the wood rack seemed to be the best option for now.

If you are wondering how we got our chicks, they came by mail (you have to pick them up at the post office, they don't get delivered to your door) and in a much smaller box then I thought they were going to come in. Believe it or not, there is 25 chicks in that box.
One big fluffy pile of black and yellow
So while I was unpacking the chicks and trying to set them up nice I attempted to keep Hazel playing in her room as she didn't like the playpen at the moment.... I can't say that it worked that well... as apparently Hazel can climb onto boxes now...

And stand on them...

It's amazing how entertaining it can be watching these chicks. They are just about always moving around. Unless they are having a little snooze like the one in the corner 😅 I had to double check a few times, but it is still alive!
They also like being in the water bowl I set out for them... We might need to find a different setup for the water...

Here is a video of them as it capture the chicks a lot better then the pictures do!
Enjoy!

  2. Cute! Though they must increase the noise volume of your home by a fair amount! 😅
    And my sympathies to you on Hazel's climbing abilities. Great to see her reaching new milestones, but also inconvenient for you 😝
