Chicks

These are the six luckiest chicks in the world. We have been talking about them and planning on getting them for about four months now. The kids helped grandma pick them out and then they named them. Ethan’s chick is Fluffy, Kaylee’s is Barbie (I am not a fan of Barbie nor does she have one but she seems to think she likes Barbie), and CJ’s is Jill. Jill was going to be Jack until they found out that all the chicks were girls. The other chicks are Dora, Poopala (Poppy named that one), and Flower .

If you look in Kaylee’s hand you will see how lucky these chicks really are.

The kids had fun today collecting some bugs to feed them.

The only complaints the kids have had about them is that they are not laying eggs yet and that they are so messy. The kids don’t like that they poop so much especially right after their cage has been cleaned.

Ethan is looking forward to helping Poppy build a chicken coup in the near future. For now they live in the garage under a heat lamp.

That's cool that they can have chicks to keep them occupied. Maybe some of the worms from the garden will be one of their finer meals before much longer.
