Now, for more additions...our "15" new baby chicks! :D So the story goes, I have been asking for chickens for 7 1/2 years now (since we moved to Wilton) and Tod has always said "no"...for one main reason, it is just one more thing added to the (very full-over flowing) plate, to take care of and look after! Totally understand, but me and the boys have really-really wanted them...for a very-very long time! So you probably are wondering..."how did you end up getting them"?!?! Well many-many "THANKS" goes to Little Miss Mati! She started telling Tod one day that she wanted baby chicks and whatcha-ya-know...she looked at him and asked very sweetly, if we could please-please have chickens and the next day were we picking out chicks! "YAY"!!! I now know how to use this method to my advantage in the future! heheheh ;) We picked them up, from the feed store, when they were about 24 hours old and sooo cute and fluffy! They are now six weeks old (I'll post newer pic's soon), but til then...here are a few pic's from when they first came home!
We have...Silkies- black and white, Leghorn, Welsummer, Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Ameraucanas, Light Brahma and a White Crested Black Polish. We can't wait for fresh eggs...yummy! ;)
