Chicks!

Sweet.  The next stage in the genesis of the urban homesteading HHMM has arrived...  We have looked forward to the day when we would add animal husbandry to our list of responsibilities for a long time. For me, this is a big new shift.  Normally, I have been in the business of bringing critters to a sudden and untimely end, so that they will end up in our freezers and on our plates.  Now I need to help Em raise and nurture these little guys.  Of course my hungry belly is involved - I can't wait for delicious fresh eggs.  And we'll see... I sure like the idea of homegrown poultry too... but for now, I sure think these little buggers are a heck of a lot of fun, and it is going to be really cool to watch them grow!
