Peeps in their crib

What do you do with the sides from a recalled crib? Make a little portable home for the chicks, of course! Once they outgrow it, we'll use it as a compost bin. Yesterday, fifteen children surrounded and played with the chicks for hours. These are going to be the tamest chickens in the world. They are getting bigger, growing some feathers, losing some fluff, hunting bugs when they are outside, and are so funny to watch. Bowtie continues to be my sweetest chick, Fluff is the leader but always welcomes a cozy hand to lay in, and Tinny wanders curiously around, checking out everyone and everything.
