chicks and elmer

one of my students asked me to come over and see the baby chicks his grandpa is raising...the pics aren't great because of the red heat lamp but here they are...they are so cute...i then got to see elmer the rooster and his girls...i walked away with a dozen eggs as well...
he is very protective of his girls...
this was a very fun and interesting day for me...not something you get the chance to see in the suburbs of minnesota!!!
