“Dumping” the baby chicks

These five-day-old chicks were already on the farm when I arrived. Talk about mass production—there are 39,000 chicks huddled together in this house. Actually, this is only half a chicken house. Farmers won’t remove the dividing wall until the chicks are big enough to need more room. Although they apparently prefer to jam up together, there was still plenty of room left in this half for these babies to spread out if they wanted.

These egrets, called “cow birds” around here, hang out in the pasture in front of the chicken houses. I like to think they’re helping the chicks plot a mass escape.

when you can’t see the forest for trees
I’ve been granted all-access to photograph a chicken farm, so I’ll follow the chicks from “dump” to “delivery” and see what I can come up with. (I’ll probably want to turn vegetarian before it’s all said and done.) At any rate, these are my nephew’s pets, so they’ll die of old age, and no one will be making chicken nuggets out of them, and even though this pic’s not good technically, the photobomb by the yellow chicken cracks me up.
