My niece Deirdre brought her 3 energetic and inquisitive sons to visit this past week. We had a nice indoor picnic, talked about trains and Legos, then brought the chicks out for a little while. The chicks were not quite sure what to think of the crowd gathered in their honor and seemed a bit overwhelmed. They eventually crawled up my arms, onto my shoulder and down my back. It really tickles!!

We also headed outside to share wilted arugula with the big girls. Ronan and John found 2 eggs then practiced using the egg scale to weigh them.

Despite the fact that Nicholas bonked his head on a drawer that I had left pulled out, I think everyone had a good time. Yikes! That's 2 slightly wounded children in the past 2 visits. That doesn't reflect our typical injury rate for visitors. Honestly!!
Once Deirdre and the boys left, the chicks conked out for quite a while! I let them rest before inviting a group of neighbors in for a peek. 5 kids and 2 adults came by to see indoor and outdoor chicken action. There were LOTS of squeals and giggles!!
I really enjoy the chicken-inspired visits and being able to share chicken happiness with family, friends and neighbors. I am grateful to the girls for drawing people into our home and into our lives.
