Cuteness Overload

If it is possible to overdose on cuteness,
then that is exactly what I've done!

I am surrounded by babies!

Yesterday morning at 6:15 I picked up 29 chicks at the Post Office.


A whole box load of fluffy assorted chicklets...
too cute for words!


Everyone made the journey successfully...
arriving seemingly healthy.


A breakfast of Quik-Grow gel, chick starter, and vitamin water helped to get them off to a good start.


They will spend the next several weeks under the brooder lights for warmth.


Later in the morning the van arrived carrying Grace, Faith and Hope.


They were introduced to their new stall (temporary)
where breakfast was awaiting them.


Too.....stinkin....


cute!!!


"What hay?"


The species doesn't matter...children are universally the same!


Faith quickly learned that it takes a lot less effort to just lay on top of breakfast.


By the end of the afternoon, everyone was ready for a nap!


The turkeys were quite curious about the new arrivals!
(As were the dogs.)


As was Moonbeam....




"I am so over all of this cuteness!"


"My bags are packed....I'm hittin' the open road."

(Hens hate sharing the limelight!)

Cuteness overload for sure. The little lambs look so sweet and I'm sure they'll fit right in at the farm.

Remind me again of which name goes with which sheep, please.
Did you get a straight run or order pullets from the hatchery? Chicks are such a delight and so funny.

Gracie is the Mom. Faith is black. Hope is white. The chicks are all female....unless of course they threw in the freebie rooster that always seems to come with an order!!

More on that tomorrow!!!
I loved all the cuteness photos--but that last photo of the back end of the chicken and the sign is the bestest!!!
OOoh, those babies. Do you have any experience with sheering? That's something I've never done.

I just wanted to stop at each picture and make a comment.....like....Grace saying....they aren't the only cute ones! Or, who is that trying for the limelight...hanging over the stall? You are just having way too much fun with all your new babies!

yes cute, cute , cute, but when I saw the last photo of the disgruntled chicken with the caption: my bags are packed....I'm hitting the open road I think you should submit this to a card company, well just a thought.

Bev,
They are too cute for words!!! I am so happy to see mama with them.. They look so ~at home~ with you on the farm. I love the baby chicks also.

Ah yes, the ubiquitous "Cockerel for Warmth" practice from every hatchery I've ever ordered from.
