I just wanted to post a few pictures of the chicks. They are already growing so fast. When we brought them home, of the four tiny ones, only the black one and started to get feathers. Now all of them are getting feathers. Wow! Still no names for them. I don't want to give them some kind of complex. (I felt so bad calling Miss Biddy by her name when she turned out to be a rooster. I hope we didn't create gender issues for that poor chicken.) Absolutely no names for the chickens until we know if they are roosters or hens. My hand is behind them in most of the pictures to keep them from jumping off the top of the brooder box. The silly chickens are still learning with whom it is safe to be.

| I think this one is the oldest of the bigger chicks. It has the biggest comb and I noticed this morning that its waddles are starting to grow. |

| You can see the missing toe better in this picture. My Little Warrior thinks that this one should be called "Toeless" no matter what its gender is. I think not. |

| Look closely. You can just barely see this chick's wing feathers. |

Are there 8 chickens? Or are some of the pictures duplicates?
I'm not letting my husband look at these. He's been trying to convince me for a year or more that we need a chicken. But luckily I am one of those women who knows when I've really reached my limit. Five children under the age of 8,a cat, a rabbit, and an indoor dog . . . that's all I can handle. Even one more thing to take care of would absolutely send me over the edge!! :-)
I like the one with the big comb. It`s kind of like our chick.
How cute! I still want a chicken, but now we got a new puppy so maybe next year???
