New year, full circle

The annual trip to Elizabeth was more enjoyable than usual.  A friend from work came with me on the hour long drive.  The company and conversation made the drive almost celebratory.  We stopped for lunch before picking up 2 of each: Buff Orphington, Araucana, gold-laced Wyandotte and Light Brahma.

Then we headed home, with a stop at Murdoch's for chick feed and Vitamin Cottage for greens.  At both stops, the box of peeping chicks caused quite a commotion as customers and employees alike crowded around to coo over the baby birds.

They are now ensconced in the indoor "mini barn" with Luna and her litter.
