    Chicks - with pics!

    Today we drove to pick up a mixed variety of chicks from Eagle Nest Hatchery in OH. 6 different varieties! Here are some pictures of them - to the best of our ability, we labelled them correctly, but my 11yo and I had to work quick! Interestingly, the light/white Easter Egger is curious...
