They're growing up and roosting!

Marlene almost fell asleep on the roost one night!

We're insane. Another new chick!

Greta!
She's a Sumatran. Very cute!

Got a new chick! Marlene!

Picked up an Americauna yesterday from Pistils Nursery where they got a brand new shipment of these beauties. She is gorgeous, but a little meek - gonna have to toughen up to hang with butch dyke (or Rooster) Coco. She runs the box, and if you need cigarettes, you have to go through her.

Here's a few snaps of the new tiny Marlene!

construction of coop

For our coop we decided to punch out the garage. All materials are found and recycled.

This is Beverly - she doesn't squirm too much if you hold her.

Cuteness! Fuzzy Cuteness!

We got 4 baby chicks last Friday.
Well, actually 5, but one died...i won't go into that, makes me too sad. She was Matilda. Should have waited a week to do any naming, but the coast seems clear now.

They are: Coco (black one with marked face)
Daphne (small black one with white spot on head)
Beverly & Margaret (the 2 yellow ones, don't even try to tell them apart!
