More Chick News

This 'n' That

3 Aug

Hope that is ok.

Thought I'd break away to update you on the chicks. They are around a week old now, and growing so quickly, it is amazing how they change daily. More feathers, and definitely how they get around. Also Alice sure protects them and has them staying away from me. When I open the pen they go all the way to the back. Today I fixed their water and that makes them come closer, so I picked up one of the little black guys. I keep calling the little black ones boys, and the yellow ones girls, I don't know why. Am hoping they are all girls but I wouldn't mind a rooster for the yard, not the chicken yard, but the yard for bug hunting.  So anyway when I grabbed the little guy Alice was none too happy and she sqwacked at me and pecked at me.  Jeff took a couple pictures.

Didn't know he took this one, this is me thinking how the heck am I gonna get one?

So cute, I haven't named any of the black ones yet cause they are harder to tell apart, I figure eventually I will be able to.

He's looking at his Mum.

There's Chiquita, look at how her coloring is changing.

Here's some from the other day.

That's Mork, the one you saw hatching, with her nose in the ground. Butterball is behind. She is much lighter and reminded me of Butter…I know Butterball is a turkey, but it stuck.

Alice looking into the big pen. Look how cute the little black ones are. Now supossedly you can tell a rooster and a hen by their beak and wing placement. So to me I am thinking the front one is a hen and the back one might be a rooster…or the wings were down just in the picture cause all their wings seem the same when I look at them. It will be fun when we find out. I think like 4 – 5 weeks we should know.

The big girls were getting no attention so they figured they would play in the water.

005 copy
Oh I haven't shown the chukars in a while.  It's so sad to see so few of them since the dog attacked the cage. We still have one running around loose, and she hangs around the cage.

002 copy
Eww…these are those bees I told you about. Thank goodness they left.

Here's the video I took yesterday.

Have an awesome Friday and thanks for stopping in.

    Wow, Di I can't get over how big those chicks got in one week. That is absolutely amazing. And I agree, Alice is a very good mom. Thanks for sharing the update….

    this video reminds me of when my brother and i were little and we used to 'help' my mom pick up my great-grandparents' chicks. the little cheep cheep cheeps are such a blast from the past….. poke our fingers into the box holes and they would 'kiss' us. took me a LONG time to get over the fact that those goofy big chickens in the coop were once itty bitty and cute like the babies!! LOL Bev

    I love that you're sharing the babies – they sure do grow fast, so enjoy how cute they are now! Pretty soon (like next week!) they'll be teenagers and not so cute.

    Glad the bees are gone. Was it a swarm that decided to stay for a couple of days? Had one of those come thru next door, and it's a little scary!

    Happy stampin'!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
