Butter and Chicks

I've been making butter everyday. I use cream from several days ago that has been refrigerated. I take it out in the morning when we do milking and let is sit all day. After supper each evening it's put in a big jar and I shake it until I have butter! This is as it looks in the jar with the buttermilk before washing and working.

And here it is cleaned and worked. A little salt is added and worked in and then I store in freezer. I probably have a couple pounds always on hand.
We got 18 chicks from someone for free. They are all Leghorn roosters. They were shipped as warming chicks for the ones she ordered. These will be stew birds, no doubt. I don't need any more roosters. They are so cute when they are little, aren't they?
