A bunch of partially-feathered chicks in a straw filled pen. There are a whole bunch of different colours: most of the yellow-fuzz chicks have grown white feathers with black speckles, the black-fuzz chicks are a combination of fully black and black with white speckles, and the orange-fuzz chicks are getting reddish feathers.

   STILL no babies! I was so sure she was going to have them last night I turned on the heat lamp for her. Only to find a very comfortable, very pregnant goat, basking under the heat lamp when I checked on her at 2am and 6am (man I am tired...) Last year one of my goats was 5 days late and all the babies had severe nutritional problems, which I worked really hard to not have this year...ugh farming is hard.

   Anyway...the baby chicks are doing great! (Definitely in their "awkward stage" though)
