Killdeer

We've found a killdeer nest at the edge of our rocks.

We put a crate over it to try to keep the dogs out.

I'm hoping to get frequent pictures after they hatch.

If you've never seen a baby killdeer, it's quite the sight.

Cuteness

I forgot how fun and cute chicks can be.

They will fall asleep in any position.

If they fall asleep standing, they will slowly collapse to the floor.

No, you are not seeing things.  We got two more chicks today.

These two are Araucana chickens.  They lay a blue colored egg.

The dark one is Brownie and the lighter one is Nimrod (she's a little ornery).

Oh Look!

Look what dad brought home!

The boys have been asking for some Isa Brown chickens.

The darker one is named Rusty and the lighter one is Sunny.

Anyone need eggs?
