Chickens

We have 15 baby chickens in our dining room right now. Why, you ask? Because that's where the incubator is, of course. And also, because the barn hasn't been put up yet. Six years and it's still laying on the ground. >.< And the greenhouse is still in pieces in my bedroom closet. Guess it'll all be put up one day, but today is not that day. lol Anyway, we have them separated into older and younger chicks, because when we put the younger chicks in, (there's about two weeks separating them in age) the older ones were beating up on the baby-babies. So for now we have chickies in our dining room. I suppose it's better than calves in the living room, but honestly, how would we get those things up the stairs? lol But back to the chicks in the dining room. This morning, one of the older chicks managed to escape his/ her brooder box and went on a mad dash all over the house. I'm not really sure why he/ she decided to do this, but that chickie seemed to have a grand time running about the house trying to escape our attempts at capture! But once s/he was back safely in his/ her box, we were able to go about our day again. It really was amusing, and as they get bigger, I fear it may start happening more and more frequently!
