Just to proove what a total dork I am... this is a picture of me holding our first chick, Georgia.
We've set up a makeshift brooder out of a cardboard box and a heat light. Georgia has since been joined in the brooder by our second chick, Bama. On the way home from church this morning we decided to name this batch of chickens after the southern states. Hence "Bama" for "Alabama". There is a third chick currently working its way out, and at least one more egg that has "pipped". (That's what they call the first tiny hole the chick makes in the egg shell.) We most definitely plan to name one of them "Kentucky". Ha, ha!

We had the greatest time when we hatched out our chicks. I felt like they were my babies :). It's too bad they can't stay that little and fluffy!!
Cute!
