Survival of the Fittest

Ten new family members joined us on Wednesday. They are of the fluffy kind....you got it...chickens. We started out with 15 but sadly 5 of them didn't make it. I think the bumpy ride from the "Chicken shop" to our house on a boda boda (motorbike taxi) didn't help things as well as being extremely hot. Joshua and Zara are loving them as you can probably imagine. The last chicken to die was given a brief sermon on where he would be going from Joshua. As the wee chicken lay on the cardboard ready to be disposed of Joshua kindly informed him that the angels would come and pick him up and take him to heaven. Joshua wanted to stay with the chicken until the angels arrived but I convinced him that he wouldn't seem them as they would be invisible (please don't judge me on my theology :)) If you have any better ideas on explaining the presence of angels to a three year old I would gladly hear it. Thankfully the remaining 10 are looking very healthy - long may that continue.
