the kids and i put this out a few days ago.

| that is handspun rainbow merino there on top - spoiled birdies! |
a fiber scraps, yarn and dryer lint for nest building birds. we do this every year and the birds happily take our offerings but we have never, ever spotted a brightly colored nest with yarn and fiber bits. we will be on the look-out again this year and please believe, if we spy one you will hear all about it!
and look! we have baby chicks at our house! six sweet little bundles of fluff. we picked them up and settled them in yesterday.
this was kind of funny - after they each had sips of water and explored their new home they all settled down in pairs - the two araucanas together, the two barred rocks and the two sex links. they are still doing it this morning when they sleep. so far they are happy and healthy and getting along fine. i plan to take and post lots of photos as the girls grow - get ready!
and lastly , i have two winners for the smell better butter weekend giveaway (this giveaway post completely disappeared yesterday! so weird! but the comments are all there so no worries!)
the randomly selected comments were #6 and #18
meggie and pepperberry knits! yay! i will contact you both this afternoon and get your smell better butter mini tin trios to you!
huge thanks to everyone who entered! xo

Your chicks are so cute!
We leave bits and pieces out for the birds too to make their nests and, although we've never seen a colourful one, we have found two that were made primarily of one of our dog's fur. It was so funny to see. I'm glad that they found something useful with our offerings.
