Spring Chicks

We like to keep our laying hens young and productive, so every couple of years we get new chicks.

Plus, we needed blue eggs.

Plus, K2 wanted chickens with hats to match the duck with a hat.

So.  We just HAD to get new chicks this year, Mama.   Pleeeeeeese?! 

But it was kind of early.   So we said yes, but you have to wait. 

So every time K2 passed by me, she said, 'Peep, peep, peep, peep....'

It was annoying.   But kind of cute.  In an annoying way.  

And then it got stinkin' hot, so we went ahead and got them earlier than we planned to. 

Now every time I pass the chick pen, I hear, 'Peep, peep, peep, peep....'

K2 would spend all day every day holding those chicks if I let her.   The truth is, the chicks would be thrilled, too.   They love her already.   

We have three Ameracaunas - hopefull all will have blue eggs, and two Polish - those are the black ones with the white hats, very Chanel, and one silver laced Wyandotte, whose name is going to be Luna.   At least that's what I'm going to call her.
