Chick update


We have had 6 baby chicks hatch and have been moved to the brooder. Another egg is starting to hatch this one is in the very early stages so, we might not actually get to see this one. We have told Adam he needs to wait until Tuesday to actually hold one. Thankfully he is not fighting us on this, and is just enjoying watching them. We have done absolutely nothing today but, watch these little cuties!!! One minute I think they are dying because they look so still and unlively and the next minute they are sitting up peeping and looking as healthy as can be! I forgot how much work it is to have newborns in the house!!! The first chick, Adam named Peep, we have one all black chick that Adam's friend Talia came up with the perfect name for "Lambert" as in Adam Lambert, Adam's favorite contestant on American Idol. The others have had a few differant names, we'll see which ones really stick with them.

How cool is that? I am envious!

And way to go Adam--you are "perfection"!

You're inspiring me here. We live in the middle of the city, but almost every day I can hear that one chicken squawking with that post-egg-laying squawk. I'd love it. Grew up with them. Not sure about the neighbours though. A few fresh eggs might sweeten them to the idea... Such a great therapy for Adam too. Brilliant idea from your neighbours. Egg-selent.


Sorry. I shell not do it again. :D
