hey chicks

The kids' school has been studying the life cycle of a chick. The incubator has been plugged in for a couple weeks and over the last two days they started hatching. This morning there were six beautiful chicks. Unfortunately this afternoon there had been a fatality of a seventh. The scent of it pretty much met us at the door. I guess that's part of their fragile little life cycle. The surviving chicks will be shipped off to a farm on Friday (at least that's the story the school is sticking to). It won't be a moment too soon as the school is starting to smell like a chicken barn.

Aren't they sweet?

 Those poor chicks have so many friends.

Well I gotta go, I have to go turn the chicken skewers I have on the barbecue.
