PEEPS!

They came they came! We got the chicks today. Well, that's only partially true - we got 5 chicks today. Our Brahmas had a late hatching so they didn't come in with the rest of the order today - we'll get those in 2 weeks. So, these are the 'test' chicks - hehe. We got these free with the bag of chick starter. They are settling in nicely and the cats swear we are teasing them like the lobsters in the tanks at restaurants. I don't know what kind of chickens they are - I have guesses on some but Logan threw away my Murray McMurray Hatchary catalog and my ADD is getting the best of me on the computer so they will have to stay 'mystery chicks' for awhile longer.

So, here is introducing the Morrison Flock: (sorry some pics are blurry - it's hard to keep a chick from running off and take it's picture with 2 hungry cats lurking at the same time!)







The yellowish one might be either a Rhode Island Red or a New Hampshire Red and the brown one that looks like a little mink might be a Partridge Rock. The black one maybe a Black Star? I guess only time will tell as will it tell whether I have little girls or little boys!



Either way the cats said they didn't care as long as they got the first taste test!

They are so cute. And that is such a funny kitty picture - you know they would love to be in that box with those sweet little peeps - ha ha.
