Pals

7/29/2013

The workload of spring somehow carried over into early summer and then on into the heat of July, and I've completely lost track of time. I can't believe that the box of McMurray Hatchery Silver Grey Dorking chicks shipped back in February are already old enough to produce baby chicks themselves, but indeed...the "test" proved positive and 21 days later, this little guy popped out.

What to do for a lonely solo chick?

Company of course. A local friend at Picture Perfect Poultry offered me this guy -- A slightly older "Silkie" chick.

And he brought some pals :-)

Snugly pals to cuddle with.

Did you hear him sigh in contentment?

Kelley Creek Farms is a small (micro really) hobby farm located in Central Alabama 30 minutes south of Birmingham. We raise heritage and rare waterfowl and poultry along with a myriad of other creatures that give the farm its life. In addition to the birds, we raise heirloom tomatoes and vegetables.

Each day is different and brings a new set of adventures. Some make you laugh and some make you cry. Some are just plain frustrating. But we persevere knowing that tomorrow's set of problems will be completely different than today. Still figuring all this out ....one day at a time and striving for a more sustainable way of life.
