New girls


chicks in the box, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

Here are my new baby chicks. I'm hoping that they will grow to be happy chickens and give us lots of eggs. Right now they are 2 days old. They hatched on Wednesday and were sent via mail to my local feed store. Two are Americaunas and will lay blue, green or even pink eggs. The yellow ones are Buff Orpingtons and will lay brown eggs. Right now they are living in a cardboard box, with a heat lamp waiting for names.

You are going to be busy with those babies. Very cute maybe you could name them after flowers being as it is spring. Bluebonnet (Bonnie) for short:-) How does that name sound?
Harvey thinks (Bluee) or even (Bluet) would be good. Glad we could help.
