This Chicken Is Ours

A while back we were driving down the road. While stopped at a stoplight, a man approached our window with plastic containers full of....baby chicks! Not just any kind of baby chicks- brightly colored ones. Have you ever heard of such a thing? From what we understand they are injected with some kind of dye so they come out brightly colored. Their feathers will eventually shed and they will just be plain, old yellow again. But back to the point- we bought eight. Eight! What were we thinking?

So here we are- living in Amman with our own little farm. We are down to only five chicks thanks to a little burglary. But these five are well fed by my handsome husband with leftovers from our meals. Their favorite food being eggs. (They are slightly cannibalistic as my friend pointed out)

So happy Saturday from us and our little Middle Eastern farm!
