    BABY CHICKS QUESTIONS!

    Since the ladies have grown up, we've missed having babies around, so we got two little girls from TSC in spring 2010: This is Beatrice and Florence at 5 days old. Of course, just adding two to the flock wasn't enough. So we currently have 9 silky eggs in the incubator as well. UPDATE...
