Which came first?

These were taken a while back in my “loft” studio (ha ha!).  We have been having so much fun with these little chicks.  I can’t believe how fast they grow…they arrived via priority mail (!) in box a few weeks ago.  Cute as can be, fluffy and chirping all the way home.  In just a few weeks time they have gone from cute and fluffy to, well, chickens.  Leggy, with feathers coming in in places, but still covered in downy feathers in others.  These images were taken when they were still cute.

What the ?????

Is this some sort of joke?  VERY funny!

    Oh my word! these are adorable! Love the softbox catchlight. hahaha! Okay, I thought you had grown chickens. One nice thing about day old’s is you don’t have to chase them around the yard for a pic.

    Lol. I love them, especially of the one pecking at the egg. I hope you used a zoom lens, as I would be afraid of them pecking at my glass :0)

    OMG, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time! Love the egg carton idea, might have to borrow that next year. That soft down doesn’t last long at all :(. Thanks for sharing!
