 Life goes on - While I was at res school, we took delivery of thirteen day old "meat chicks." These little fella's grow at an extrodinary rate. You can notice their growth daily! Bred to grow they are.
Well most of them are. You see David, my delightful two-year old son decided to "love" some of them. In the space of about 40 seconds he managed to squeeze four of them to death. Well three died instantly. One other had to be put down by yours truely.
Suffice to say, security measures in the chick enclosure were strengthened and the remaining nine are doing well. Sue and I built a small enclosure for them along side the main chook yard. They seem to be adjusting well to living outside. We look forward to their maturity in about seven weeks time!
