Speedy's Not - anymore...

Yesterday we noticed that our favorite chicken Speedy was not feeling well.  She is the lone survivor from our original batch of chicks that we got in May of 2010.  She is the most tame and friendly of the four chickens that we own.  This morning we awoke to discover that our little Speedy has passed.  Here are some of our sweet memories of our fine feathered friend.

Baby Chicks

On Friday night Steve brought home the chickens that had started out as eggs in his classroom science unit. We have 8 little chicks peeping in our family room. It is such a pleasant, comforting sound. I love it! The kids are really enjoying holding them and talking to them. I am too. :-) For now they are in a brooder, aka Rubbermaid tote, and in a few weeks we will move them to a coop outside. It is going to be so much fun!
