Our great nephew Jordan is involved with 4-H. He chose chickens as his Summer project. We talked about him housing the Chicks here this summer before he told his teachers.
Around the first of May, he came home with a tub full of chirping chicks that were as soft as a whisper.
He comes over two or three times every day to check on his chicks. If I took a time-lapse photograph over the course of a day, I think I could see them growing.
Jilda saw something about how to drill a hole through a head of cabbage and hang it on a rope to make a food toy for the tiny birds.
We did that today. He came over with his mom and nana to help install the new idea before the chick had a chance to try it out. I snapped a picture.
It took the little birds a while to figure out how to munch/play with their new toy, but as we all sat around enjoying the evening, they started playing/eating their new toy.
It doesn't take a great deal to amuse us these days.
