The chicks when they were still peeps...

Their brooder box.  It was convenient having them right in the backyard.  A little messy, but easy to water and feed them.  We got 24 chicks.  Later we got 5 ducks, but one duck died.

We got a variety of chicks, including 4 guineas, which are really big now and getting bigger.

Evelyn was the only one allowed to go all the way in the brooder box (with adult supervision).  She was actually able to catch a chick back then, now they are way too fast.
