Dills chick
New light brahma chick - named Cowie by Stella
Back of Dill's chick - looks like a chipmunk
OK so maybe I have a little problem...As you know, we decided to get chickens this year. Well, we started with 1 chick for each kid. Six chicks, no problem. Then I decided I wanted one too. Jay said, "Sure, what's one more?" So I headed back to the farm store and picked out my chick. I am driving home telling Jay that I got my chick and he says, "Cool, did you get me one too?" Well no I didn't. So, back to the farm store to get him a chick. So we are at eight. Cool that should be a great amount of eggs for our family. Then......I did some research because Dill's chick looks quite different than the other chicks. Turns out, Dill's "she" is likely a "he". We aren't gonna keep any roosters, so Dill doesn't want to be the only one without a chick.....back to the farm store. They had 1 day old chicks yesterday. SO CUTE!!!!! Dill chose an araucana baby. She is housed alone because she can't be mixed with the "bigs" yet. Well, she was chirping and chirping and chirping. She was lonely in there all alone......back to the farm store. We got her a buddy. She is a light brahma. So now we have 10! Good thing we built a LARGE coop!
