Margie and Ginny Leghorn
Originally uploaded by librarian.laura
The chicks will return today for the Reunion Party. Each foster "parent" will share special moments of their experience and show a poster that will be on display at the library for the next several weeks.
We have had some great times watching chicken behavior and bonding with the small dependent balls of fluff. We have had some sad times too. Two chicks died a few days after hatching with no apparent cause. Sometimes the chicks don't develop properly and can not grow. We talked about the possibility that not all chicks that hatch will survive. It is difficult when they become our little friends and we have to deal with loss. For those who have lost pets it is easy to understand the sadness and then acceptance of the reality of nature.
We will celebrate with fun pictures and stories of our fine feathered friends. We hope that our chicks grow into beautiful egg laying hens like Margie and Ginny! We will update you on the next farm they will go to.
