Baby chicks

We recently bought a new grill because the parts to fix our old one  would have been at least $100- no thanks.  We grill a lot, so I don't mind spending the money.  The old grill is still on our deck because as we were getting ready to junk it, we saw a nest inside with 6 teeny tiny eggs.  Those eggs hatched today.  I know because I checked the eggs yesterday. I have never seen such freaky little things- they look like they weren't even ready to come out yet!  Their eyes are huge under their translucent skin.  They are almost bald and the feathers that they do have aren't even feathers at all- it looks like fine hair.  Check out these little guys! They are so tiny- seriously the size of a quarter!
