Thursday Dose of Cute: Chick Days Again?

Farmgirl Fare - new baby chick
Yep.
Want to see more chick pics?
© Copyright 2010 FarmgirlFare.com, the babies all over the place but too whupped and hungry to elaborate foodie farm blog where in the course of my farmly duties today (which were performed on only four hours of sleep), I somehow snapped a whopping 143 photos—nearly all of which captured some particularly cute moment. It definitely wasn't easy to choose just one. Lots more hopefully soon.

  2. Why are all of your photos on flickr now? I can't see them at work, so all I get is a blank spot! What a bummer.

  3. Oh-oh-oh-ooooooh... Melting away.

    That is sooooo cute.

    You just persuaded me. I need to have my own farm with chickens ;)

    Have a great weekend!

  4. Hi Susan! My husband and I have fled California city life to rural New England. We've been organic heirloom vegetable growers and are about to live our dream of augmenting with first time homegrown chicken eggs. We are very excited and have been uber inspired by your writings. Indoor Swiss Chard, broccoli, Brussells Sprouts, and dino kale sprouted 2 days ago and I am in hog heaven. Question for you is will you feed your new baby chicks a special diet or let them eat the same feed you give the grown chickens? Thanks again for sharing your life, we love reading about your escapades!

  5. Susan, Don't waste a lot of time choosing , just load lots and lots of pics of babies and we can ooh and awh and choose ourselves, saving you the time and decisions. Daily dose of cute helps on the hardest days when life is not so cute. Thanks

  7. What a great picture (I can only imagine how wonderful the other 142 are!!!) - I love the baby chick with the hen - great color and texture and just adorable.

    It must be spring - all the babies are arriving. Best wishes to all of you (and try to get more sleep. Yeah, right.)

  8. Hi Everybody,
    So glad you're enjoying this picture, and I always appreciate your feedback - it helps me to know what you like seeing most when you come here.

    I just love it when baby chicks hatch - they're so cute and always crack (oh, bad egg joke) me up with their expressions.

    Cary,

    Congrats on your country move - and to your chicken dreams about to come true! I'm not going to give these chicks any purchased 'chick starter,' preferring to bring them up on 'real' food instead. In the past it's worked just fine. You can read more about what we feed the chickens in the little copyright notice and the comments section of this post. And of course, everybody loves a pizza party! : )

    Anonymous,
    I'm not sure why you aren't able to see the photos that have been uploaded using flickr. I'm seeing them on both the site itself and in two different e-mail subscriptions, and from these comments, other people are seeing them, too.

    I do know that last weekend - without any help from me - my blogs got all screwed up, and, to make a long and very frustrating story short, in the midst of everything else (newborn animals, sick animals, Joe out of town) I've been frantically trying to figure things out and search for quick solutions, including a new way to upload photos.

    My goal is to have an entirely new template design up and running by this weekend which I hope will fix all the current publishing problems, but I also really need to get a bunch of stuff planted in the garden, and lately it seems like all plans are off each time I step out the door. Farm life - I love it, but you never know when you'll be able to get something done! : )

    In the meantime, I haven't heard from anybody else having difficulty seeing the photos, so I really appreciate your feedback - and I hope you'll keep stopping by to see if the problem gets fixed in the near future.

  10. Flickr is blocked at work - that's why I can't see them there. The other pictures, that I have always been able to see, are on blogspot. The flickr pictures, that I can't see, well it looks like you uploaded the link only, because I can see a link, but when I click on it, I get a 'blocked site' message.
    I hope the new design fixes this problem. Your pictures are great and I'll miss seeing them every day.

    This picture is beyond adorable. It captures how nature makes every living baby thing adorable so that mommas fall as in love as that mother hen clearly is.... Lovely!

  15. Thanks so much for these photos, Susan!

    This may be obvious to the more chick-literate readers of your blog, but what kind of chickens are Mom and Baby in this photo? I just love the markings on his little head!

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
