Chicks

It’s that time of year again. My mother has new chicks at her house. Not because her current chickens hatched eggs. My mother bought these at the feed store; I guess she just can’t resist having baby chicks each year. Eleanor and Phaedra enjoyed paying them a visit last week.

The most memorable part for the girls (which will probably never be forgotten) was when the chick pooped while Eleanor was holding it. Luckily, it all landed on the floor (probably because Eleanor was mostly grasping the poor thing by the neck). Phaedra was quite hesitant to hold that chick after seeing what happened, but we convinced her that the chick was all done pooping.

Then Eleanor held it one more time and was so happy that it seemed to snuggle up to her a bit.

The whole experience sure has left the girls with some stories to tell!
