It is not a good idea to let Mark have lots of idol time on his hands. That being said, we are now going to be even bigger chicken farmers. Out little barnyard just grew by three more chickens and another coop and run!
Meet the littlest girls...
I've run out of family names so now it was time to enlist the help of the grand kids. They got to choose names for their chickens. Ellis named this little Golden Comet, Chrispy. Which he thinks is so funny.
Shhhh, she's sleeping. Alaire named the new Buff Orpington, Sunny.
This sassy little number came with a name. She is a Dixie Rainbow (no kidding that is the breed) so her name has to be Dixie.
The second batch of chickens, the Easter Eggers, have taken these babies like they were their own. I should look up to see if the are good brooders or not. Hmmm...says they are occasional brooders. Guess that means they can take it or leave it. They sure have taken to these little babies. Literally. When there is a loud noise the little ones get right under them. They have grown into a wonderful little family.
I guess they will be referred to as the big sisters and the little sisters.
An even dozen so I think we are finished!
