On Friday, the hatchery called us to let us know that our day old chicks were ready for collection! So exciting… as you can imagine. We all jumped in the car and drove off to fetch them. They are the sweetest little fluffy creatures you have ever seen. It is cooling down here at the moment, so we have made a special place for them inside until they are a little bigger. Today, we took them out for the first time. It has been raining for a few days, but today the clouds cleared and we took them out to enjoy the sunshine. As soon as the sun touched their feathers, they spread themselves out and suntanned, so sweet, we could hardly believe it. They have never seen how to do this, but their instinct was so strong, it was lovely to watch…
Of course they all have names already and each child has chosen 2 to look after…
Here is a little chicken pattern for you to knit:)
