The kits are cute. It's when they grow up they are a nuisance.

My DW took a picture of the new 10 day old chicks, next to the bucket she brings them to the yard with. The bucket has a sign on it that says something like, KFC 5 piece bucket.

Good to hear. By chance do you think any of the new chickens will be one of those you see in videos running up to its owner and giving him/her a hug? I've seen that video! Have you seen the one where the rooster keeps pulling a man's hand back for a chest rub ? The only thing the rooster would do when I was growing up was come and stomp your foot if you did not feed him on time. That bugger was huge and I was tiny at that time, so I always remembered to feed him.

This is one turkey who won't get a hug from anyone though he might end up with a meat thermometer in his thing around Thanksgiving and people will give thanks.

Here's our chicks at ten days old, in the yard. D23-because they are so young, do they follow you or your wife around outdoors? Did they imprint on either one of you?

They have imprinted on me so far. I have to be careful to not step on them because they will keep constantly underfoot whenever I'm within sight. In or out of the chicken yard.

I have to be careful to not step on them because they will keep constantly underfoot whenever I'm within sight. In or out of the chicken yard. I was wondering about that. From the video you posted, I am not sure if they are within their newly rebuilt chicken yard or just outside of it on the lawn. I wondered if they were outside of their own yard, how do you go about collecting them all if they all decide to scatter in opposite directions. Hence the imprinting question and them now sticking close to you.

Anything startles them, they are right against my shoes. Definitely imprinted.

Massive butterfly migration seen on radarOn their radar, National Weather Service meteorologists in Boulder could see it coming. They just weren’t sure what “it” was. The mysterious red and purple blobs began appearing on radar screens, stretching at least 100 miles across the Denver area. “The radar started to light up right after sunrise and that whole mass just started to move over Denver, all flying in the same direction, kind of floating with the light winds that day,” Paul Schlatter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder, told ABC News. Thinking it might be migrating birds, the weather service tweeted out a radar animation of what they were seeing, asking bird experts for advice.

I saw a beautiful sunrise today. Golden rays shooting out from an orange ball across a multicolored sky.

That's a great video ! Our smallest pond is about a hundred yards from our house. It's only about 75' across, 6 ft. deep. It's a leopard frog haven in the summer. There are literally thousands in there. As you walk the perimeter, they are sitting on the shore or just in an inch of water by the edge. They are almost touching there are so many. They all jump for deeper water as you walk by. The continual splashing is kind of funny. I'll try to take a video if I can. (Spring peepers take it over late winter into early spring)

Had a really great sunset last Friday. It was one of those where the sun illuminates from underneath, a textured high deck of clouds. It was all orange and gold. Took some pictures with a decent camera, but it just doesn't show as you see it with your own eyes. The Springfield, Missouri TV station KY3, did show some.

Saw this picture of rice fields in the Mù Cang Chải district of northwest Vietnam. They don't look anything like the rice fields I have seen in eastern Arkansas.

I've seen similar plantings in Indonesia, Tenn, but they were tea trees.

I really like space telescope pictures. I currently use them for a screen saver background, rotating to a different one every ten minutes. In more local news, our spring peepers are deafening right now with the warm spell. The naked lilies are up a couple of inches also. Spring begins...
