CHICKENS and CHICKS

What a lovely day!!.   The sun is shining and not even a sweater is needed outside.   When I went to the kitchen, these lovely blooms greeted me.    Did they read the sign?   They bloomed at Thanksgiving and now again.  I love it!

And when I went outside, this is what I found.   Apparently these chickens had each claimed a pot in which to sit.

After lunch we went to the store – to get more babies as we need more eggs for our small clientele.

P1000956  hopefully silkie bantams

The first are Polish bantams and the second are hopefully silkies.   They weren’t sure nor were they sure of the sex of any of these.   So all six of these will be a big surprise.  I am looking for some little silkie girls.   The Bantams are just for fun.

Here are the (black) Wyandotte and the Araucanas (sometimes called Easter Egg chicks)  I’m all ready for a fun summer.   Somewhere I want to find time to tame these chicks so they are more friendly adults.
