An Arkansas Mama's journey to natural, simple living.
Back on September 16th we were surprised when one of our hens returned home with 8 new baby chicks. We have made it three full weeks and they are all doing great! She is a great new Mama. I just can’t believe how much they have grown! At two weeks they were starting to really show a variety of colors. They were black, reddish and even two with lighter yellow colors.

Some of these photos actually are from the few weeks. We added a total of 6 new baby chicks to our family on 4/4/12. They were day old chicks and oh so cute. As soon as we arrived home two acted like they were not going to make it, and unfortunately three didn’t make it in the first 24 hours. It wasn’t really enough time for the children to become attached but it was so difficult for me because it {Read More}
