Chicken Sitting

I'm chicken sitting for a friend... our Biology class got 8 baby chikens... they are now 2 days old and the point is to imprint them. So we got stuffed toys and things and wiggled it around in front of them. The idea is that the first moving object a baby bird sees, it will attach to and think it is it's mother. So basically, we have all of these little chickens chirping all over the place... but they are soooo cute and fluffy. Sandra couldn't look after hers tonight, so I am chicken sitting and right now it is chirping like mad! I swear they don't shut up unless you hold them.... It's really annoying sometimes.

In biology today we tested to see if they had imprinted, and most of them did except one! It was a rebel chiken. I thought that the chickens reminded me of our relationship with God... He imprints onto our lives and we should follow Him like those chickens follow their "mother" ... Anyway, I have to go and pet a chirping chicken!
