Our Chickies

We have Chickens yup six little chicks.  We had been discussing this for several years about raising chickens.  Especially after tasting the eggs at my mom's.  She gets them from my cousin Clint's wife.  They were so yummy made the ones from the store taste like plastic.  So for their Easter present from Matt's parents they got chicks.  We got seven little chicks of different breeds.  Four grey ones that the girls named Princess Sophia, Minnie, Mickey and Batman. Sadly Batman died after the first night.  One copper colored one named Peter Pan.  And two brown ones named Tiger and Pep Le Pew.  The girls loved naming each of them.  Right now they are living in our laundry room in a box, once they are big enough they will be in the backyard in their coup.  The girls are loving their little babies. Emme asked me where their Mommy and Daddy were and who would take care of them if they had no Mommy or Daddy.  I told her that it was our job now to take care of them.  They are loving watching them in their home.  Emme loves holding them and petting their soft feathers.  Livi is a bit different.   She has always been more shy and cautious then her sister.  She has a bit of a fear of animals.  She prefers to have Matt or me hold them and she just pet them.  However for a couple minutes this morning she held tiger for a little bit.
