We arrive at the middle of the week with severe thunderstorms moving through the area this evening. The 5 chicks that have been occupying our time left yesterday. They joined a bigger flock that were hatched in the classroom of an elementary school and we figure they are a little more than a week older than "my chicks." The children at their new home were excited to meet the new additions.
Taking care of the chicks was a good experience, and I am looking forward to having my own little flock when the time is right. But until that right time comes, I'm content to read about yours, and care for my flock that has 4 legs.

Little chicks need so much TLC, heat lamps, careful feeding etc., wonderful they have a special new home, and your own 4 legged family will continue with their TLC as always. Greetings from Jean.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that you got to spend a little time taking care of some little chicks, but your current flock is probably glad that ALL of your attention is now on them! Be safe! The storms have been just awful!! xo Jeanne
ReplyDeleteglad you got them to a safe place. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some of the pups will miss the chicks.

Wonderful that the chicks have got a new home. Our generations of dogs have always treated chicks as amuse bouche.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we think dogs are much more betterer than chicks. Okay, we'll include cats in that too.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Glad to know that the chicks have gone to a good home. You are probably much better off with the 4 legged friends anyhow. Sheba and Annie seem to be happy now that the chicks are gone and things are back to normal for them. My Roscoe would have probably eaten them or tried to.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the week and long weekend. Hope Carl is healing well and staying out of trouble.

Whew! I'm glad you'll wait for the right time and keep your existing four legged flock! The little ones have been a temptation for me too....but....:)JP
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful ending to this story! I can only imagine how the dogs reacted to having that little tub of peeps as houseguests.
ReplyDeleteYou and I sound like we are in exactly the same place with regards to chickens. I will eventually have them, but now is definitely not the time. I want them to be something that I enjoy having, not another blanket-blank thing that I have to do every day. Like everything else, I trust that I will know when that time comes.
Nice job, Kim. LOVE that first shot of Todd!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!!!!!
Hi Kim!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am pleased to hear that you found a good home for your chickies.
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you and your four-legged flock!
Hugs ...
Your dogs are beautiful! They remind me so much of my old golden, Chloe. We lost her at 14 1/2 years old, and we miss her a lot. I'm so happy I found your blog! I will have to add you to the blogs I follow! :)
ReplyDeleteHoorah! Good homes for babies! Just like you're a good home for your babies. :)

So sweet. :) I'm sure the Golden Pines crew would love to see a Golden Pines chicken palace!
ReplyDeleteStick with the four legged ones for the time being!
ReplyDeleteI would like to have chickens some day too. But not here in Alaska. I don't want to have to trudge through the snow everyday to tend to them!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a great flock there, Kim!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, how sweet the chicks went with others, hope the children take care of them......Love those four legged furry faces, give them a big hug from me, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes raise chicks at our school (mom teaches)...the kids love them!
ReplyDeleteSo great for the children to watch little biddies grow. Glad your chicks have a good home now.
ReplyDeleteWe had chicks in my elementary school every year when I was little!
ReplyDeleteLove your first photo, I wonder what he's thinking.
ReplyDeleteThat will be wonderful for the kids and the chicks good to hear all is going well ! We have had big dark clouds over us on and off since yesterday but no rain , the winds have picked up this evening and it is quite chilly after a week or so of summer like weather ! Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteOne time we were lucky to be at a farm when the hundreds of boxes of chicks arrived...
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see all of those fuzzy yellow balls skittering over the floor....
Jen
You know we love your 4 legged flocks!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are so sweet and beautiful!

Oh! Those little chicks are adorable and love the inquisitive attention of your dogs - so cute! Great pix! They had some eggs hatching at The Center last week. Some baby mallards whose mother was dead. So sad. They were doing well though and what a rough little time they have pecking through that egg shell!
ReplyDeleteWell the chicks flew the coop! I bet those chicks really did interest Todd. Your four legged chickadees are cute enough for me.
ReplyDeleteKim thanks for the e-mail, I always love getting words from bloggers.
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
So glad the treats all went to good homes, too!

We have relatives in Alaska, and are always amazed at the beauty of the parks in that state! We hope to visit one day, and see it for ourselves!
ReplyDeleteWe have been to Virginia Beach and of course to visit the wild ponies of Chincoteague. We love your state! :)
