I'm still saying girl. Chick's are doing great. They're going to be a flighty bunch. The last ones we hand raised till about 6-7 weeks these guys were on their own outside at 1 week! Hopefully that means they will be more hesitant to be near the dog and save their own necks shall we say. Even the kids are leaving them alone. I'm sure the recent heat wave has something to do with that. I realize we moved here from Arizona but it doesn't take long to get acclimated to a cooler climate.

We plan summer in January and Winter in July, it all works out in the end. I hear the frozen, chocolate goodness calling my name now, next up hazelnut gelato and few more batches of pickles. Ahhhhh, summer.
