Chicken Ranch

It was time to take the preschool baby chicks to their new home. Grandma Bobbie came to town last night so she was able to come along. We ventured out to Hickman, Nebraska to a lovely acerage that raises chickens. Here's Miss Deb transferring the chicks to their new home.



Here we are saying goodbye to our fuzzy friends.



I think that their conversation went like this: "Hey, check out these new digs! We got a sun lamp, lots of food and no more little kids squeezing us till we 'Peep'! Awesome!"



Next we moved on to the older chickens. Some of these are a year old. It's amazing how much they grow in such a short time.



Here's the daddy. He was bigger and more vocal than all the hens.



The kids had lots of fun acting like chickens! They climbed all around the barn and ran around with the chickens. We had to be careful not to chase them too much or they won't lay their eggs!





Some final pictures in front of the neat red barn. We will miss the chicks and had so much fun with the whole experience. EJ's preschool teacher is really incredible.
