Who You Callin' Chicken?

Day 142: It is officially Spring! The baby chicks have arrived at feed stores! These little girls were more than willing to ham it up for the camera today. The trouble was that they were scrabbling over and under each other, pecking here, scratching there, looking for tasty tidbits in the pelletized filler lining the bottom of their galvanized washtub pen.

For all you city slickers out there, this is what you get if you let an egg hatch. Think about this cute little face the next time you chow down on an omelette! Did I really say "ham" in the first paragraph? Oh dear!
