The bulk of the cabinets are in. The stove (and the gas line) get moved over tomorrow. The last of the cabinet-stuff should be pretty much installed by Monday. Then it's just waiting on the counter top folks and some finish work. Still nearly 2 weeks more until a kitchen sink... In the interim, my back is getting really tired of washing my dishes in the bathtub...So - for fun, I bring you photos of Baby Chicks!!
One of my critique group friends, Suzy, has a couple of flocks of 'fancy chickens. These are the very cute, and very tiny Serama Bantam chickens (look at those completely vertical tails!) She incubated a new batch a few weeks ago - see how tiny the chicks are?
But they are nothing compared to the most itty-bitty, stripey, jumpy batch of Buttonquail that hatched this weekend! They are the teeniest, most active little fuzzy bird babies you've ever seen! They are like bumblebees with beaks!
See! Compare! There are *17* buttonquail babies being held in these hands (compared to the two tiny serama chicks above..) It was amazing to see.
And in other Good Chicken News, all three of mine are successfully laying again.Yay chickens!
