New Babies!
Our sweet little babies have arrived.
Three Barred Rocks and three Black Sex Links. So super sweet, and "only the size of an egg" so says Jesse!
The original plan was to have some meat birds, as well - but the store messed up our order somehow, so that plan is now scrapped. The littles are just as happy. They weren't enthralled with the whole "family plucking and processing" idea in the first place.
And now begins the process of naming our new little babies. Each boy can name two chicks. Kaden's fond of repetition and names that are easy to remember - like: Blacky One and Blacky Two etc. Jesse favors names that not a one of us will remember within five seconds - like: "Mophany" and "Shaneenee" or whatever he comes up with on the fly. And Ransom's not really understanding the whole game plan. He just keeps saying: "That's a chicken! No. That's a birdy!" This whole thing is new for him.
The poor little babies don't get a whole lot of sleep during the day, I fear. But, at least they are quickly learning (and hopefully growing comfortable with) the sounds of our voices. Yes, sweet new life has arrived....and now I know for sure that Spring has, as well!

Sweeeeet!!! :) :)
I accidentally got a meat bird this year and it has kind of cured me of wanting them anytime soon. All it does is sit with its head in the feed bowl eating. On the bright side they are too lazy to grow a full set of feathers so it will be easier to pluck...ha!
Yee-Haw!!!
Now if you can keep Mr. Foxy away!! :o)
P.S. I must note that this post is slightly contradictory of the last post...cute, fuzzy, LIVE baby chicks vs. lifeless, MURDERED, cute squirrel...just WHERE do we draw the line here? :o)
