Naptime

Backyard Poultry
All Tired Out
It didn’t take long for those babies to tucker out and pile on the floor for a nap. I can’t get over how cute they are in this picture!! The brown, chipmunk-striped chicks are Rhode Island Reds, a hardy winter breed, and the black ones are Barred Plymouth Rocks. I also got two Araucanas that are supposed to lay—yes!—blue eggs. That seems like a long time from now!!

Is one of those Barred Plymouth Rocks a rooster?

Such delicate lives.

I don't think either of the black chicks in the photo was a rooster, but I can't remember very well!

These chicks are hardly bigger than eggs themselves. You have a lot of faith and vision!

I wish I could just pick one of those up!
