The Cackleberry Factory begins

Once upon a time, so the story goes, Eric's cousin hated eggs. No way could his mom get him to eat eggs.

But boy were those cackleberries Uncle Larry made good.

So, it took a few years.
But we finally started our own cackleberry factory.
They're great fun; the kids love to sit and watch, as well as hold them. Oliver even set up a chair that first day and put in a few good hours.

In spite of the fact that they are always under a heat lamp, I found out that chicks still know night from day. They were sound asleep when I left bright and early for work yesterday morning. Look at them huddled in together in the corners, cute! However, throughout the day they're never completely quiet. That's one strong circadian rhythm!

Tomorrow at this time I'll be enjoying sunny (I hope!!) San Francisco!
