Watching Babies

It's so fun to watch the chicks!  Whenever I go outside, some are resting, some are eating, and a few are running around.  When they see me though, towering over them like a big predator or a hawk, they all run and hop-fly into a huddle.  They're full of life.

The turkey poults are doing pretty well, too.  There's one that seems a little sleepier, thus weaker, than the others, but none of them see sick.

The chicken eggs that we're incubating to sell to a customer are due to hatch today.  Yesterday, I saw several eggs rocking (preparing to hatch) and heard little cheeps from a couple others.  Half an hour ago, when I checked on the incubator, one egg was chipped a little bit!  Tomorrow, there should be newly hatched chicks.
