Easter chicks

Very cute and fluffy
 I came back to the house today for lunch. As I entered, a small cardboard box was thrust into my hands. I immediately became suspicious of this box with air holes, tied up with string. My suspicions were correct. It was something alive. As I opened it up, out popped a little beak and tiny soft yellow feathers. There sat 6 little chicks chirping away at me! The Dad of the family I live with has been buying chicks and now has 17. They are all growing nicely and enjoying a very great life in a lovely little garden. I won’t go into details of what will happen to them when they are big, strong and juicy 6 week old chickens. For now, they are having a great “free range” life!
