Last week, Tres set up the pump house with a heating light, thermometer (so we could track the temperature, based on the light's height), feeder, and water dispenser.
Our chicks arrived at the post office at 6:30 on Wednesday morning - twenty-six balls peeping balls of fluff (twenty-five barred rock and one free "mystery fancy breed"). It is a very strange thing to ride with a (relatively small - maybe 12" x 12") box full of peeping baby chickens on your lap. They are ridiculously cute and pretty funny right now, curious about everything and noisy.

I did not, regrettably, catch any of them jumping in this video, but you do get to hear them peeping, which is about my favorite thing right now. Stay tuned for the awkward phase!
