Chickens's 1st Recess

Yesterday the baby chickies had their very first recess. As soon as Faith came home, we decided to take full advantage of the unbelievable Thanksgiving-week weather we're experiencing. After spending my 950th hour (give or take) on http://www.mypetchicken.com doing research about those little peckers living in my garage, I encountered a suggestion that I am sure I must have read and logged deep within the recesses (variety #2) of my chicken database, which some of you may know as a brain, that said that between the 2nd and 4th weeks of life we should take the chickens outside if it's warm enough ~ 65-70 degrees. --I'm fairly certain that the previous sentence contains multiple grammatical errors, one of which we like to know as "run-on." Please forgive me, and ignore this rant.

Yesterday was 75 degrees. Beautiful weather. (<--- incomplete sentence)

They were so cute. At first, they were scurred. (<--- misspelled intentionally to convey a colloquialism) They tried to all get back into the box that I used to carry them out in. After I removed them for the 2nd (<--- technically, you're supposed to spell out a one digit number, unless it's used in the same sentence as a two digit number, in which case you can chose between forms, maintaining consistency) time, and turned the box over, they began exploring, scratching, pecking, and otherwise being very chickeny.

At any rate- if the rain holds off today, I intend to take them outside again. Assuming everything goes as planned, I will take some epic, unbelievably beautiful photographs of them and post them on this here blog.

Actually- it would be really fantastic if it rained.

As Raquelly would tell you: "Peace out!"
