we have chicks

Our chicks have arrived. They began their struggle, to break free from their shells, the day we lost power. We have Therma Care heating pads and Grandma Sharla to thank for their survival.















 Going without power for even one day was a reminder to be thankful and of how dependent we are on electricity these days.

The van was a warn spot.

A little science for you:
Chicks incubate for 21 days and need the temperature to stay around 99.5 degrees.
We have four chicks total now. All from eggs Grandma Sharla gave us before her roosters found a new home.
