Chicks

Here are our new adventures!! We saw them at the local nursery and loved them!! We brought them home Tuesday March 23. We are so excited to have fresh eggs and to have 4 little chickens running around the yard! They are supposed to all be female. We hope it is that way, since roosters are so noisy.

Boston has absolutely fell in love with them! He checks on them multiple times a day. He has named his, Blacker (the black one). He talks to them asking them how they are and if they are ok. It has been really cute. He was really shy with holding them at first, but loves it now!! He would walk around the house with one if I let him. I just don't want the poop all over my house.

Molly thinks they are great until they flap their wings. She is then frightened for a minute and then goes back in. She pets them, but doesn't like how their feet feel, so she won't hold one. She does continue to try.

So each of us got to pick which one is ours. Boston's is the black one - blacker. Molly's is the yellow one - no name. Jason's is the brown one - no name (his is now the smallest). And mine is the white one - Lucy.

Jason has built them a cute little box home for now, since they have to be inside. He is going to build them a coop for outside, when they are big enough to go outside. It has been a great adventure so far!! We hope it continues to be that way!!
