Day 2, Chickens

The chicks are get­ting lots of love from my dar­ling chil­dren and the three chicks per­so­na­li­ties are beco­ming much more appa­rent.  Mar­got seems to be a bit more inde­pen­dent and less inc­li­ned to enjoy being manhand­led by my not so deli­cate daugh­ter.  She is also the lou­dest of the three.  Millie on the other hand, seems calm and doesn’t put up too much of a fit when being hand­led by the kid­dos.  Char­lotte runs like the devil each time a child sized hand reaches in to catch her.  But once caught, seems com­ple­tely calm and well behaved.

 

After 24 hours of having the three chicks resi­ding in our living room, my hus­band came home from work today bound and deter­mi­ned to finish the coop soo­ner rather than later.  Major pro­gress is being made!

Don’t be jea­lous.  Our garage is always clean, no thanks to me!

Steve has lots of good hel­pers and with any luck, no one will loose an eye or toe in the process!

The chic­ken in the above pic­ture is Millie.  She’s a 1 week old Wel­sum­mer Chick.

This little girl’s name is Char­lotte and she’s a Cuc­koo Maran.

 

 

 

 

 

And the final chick we got is named Mar­got and she’s a Buc­keye.

Let the fun begin!
