Just a Guy and his Chicks

Every year the grade one class at our Son's school purchases eggs from the local hatchery for the classroom. Once all the eggs have hatched they give them away to anyone who would like them and has a farm. Tuesday afternoon our little guy came home, got down on his knees and begged to bring home a chick or two to keep.

He had obviously thought about it a lot during the bus ride home from school as he had quite the debate strategy preplanned in his head, with details of how to care for them, how it would help him learn responsibility and how for everything we give to the chicks they give back in nutritious eggs. How could we say "No"?

Thank goodness for the Internet! We learned so much about their needs and care that we never knew before. There sure is a lot more to keeping the little ladies then we first thought.
