Did I Leave You Hanging About That Chick Feed Last Week?

Well, I didn't mean to leave you hanging after last week's Wordless Wednesday, but I wanted to finish up that first day and how our crazy Black Bull Calf turned into a Brownish Heifer Calf!! Anyway, we DID get some fowl the other day!
DSC_0472, Baby Chicks and Ducklings join our little farm! We now have a baker's dozen of little chicks - 7 will probably be white and 6 will be reddish brown. We have 4 ducklings - 2 are yellow, 1 is black and 1 is black and yellow mixed. THe treekids LOVE them!!
We asked the gentleman at the Tractor Supply Co. to get us twelve chicks and four ducks.

I counted them yesterday, and there are 13 chicks! Looks like we got a baker's dozen out of the deal. SO, we have 7 that are light colored and might become white?? And we have 6 darker chicks that (I HOPE) will turn reddish in color.

    What a conglomeration of cute, cute critters you are accumulating! I bet you are glad to have a vet in the family! Love all the pictures, as usual! Lots of hands-on learning for the tree-kids!
    Love,
