They're here!!


Six adorable bantams, five hens and one rooster (well, we have no idea at this point, just a guess).  Names:  Cupcake (white/tan), Blackie (suspected rooster, black/tan), Freckles (yellow/black & tan spots), Trouble (yellow, feathered feet), Fuzz (gray, feathered feet), and TBA (yellow/light orange, cousin Riley gets to name this one). 

Riley, this is yours to name!

We didn't think we were getting them this soon, nothing is really ready for them, but it will be by the time they grow big enough.  We happened to be at the local feed store today and they were there, available and looking at us longingly.  Everything's going well so far, they're in an aquarium in the kitchen with a heat lamp above them and a screen at the top (to keep nosy cats out).

  2. They are really cute, Olivia. We love their names. Glad Riley got to name one. Does this mean that we don't have to buy eggs from the store anymore? What's the best day to pick them up? Hope you have a lot of fun with them. We love you Grandma and Grandpa.
