BethBubbles Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) We have just entered the world of chicken ownership and have ten new chicks! I wanted to share pictures with you all. Introducing our chickens... Dave Pingu Fajita Captain Jack Sparrow Bruno Mo Oscar Stewy Mr Fantastic Large Lumps The chicks are too little to go outside at the moment but we will be getting our next month! Any cocks will be going to mate at a farm but hopefully we will be left with a fair few hens to keep as pets for lovely eggs. Very happy!

Hen Watch Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ohh.... just too cute. Jack Sparrow is my favourite. Fingers crossed for lots of girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethBubbles Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yes! We really want six girls in an ideal world but will accept what we end up with. They're just such funny things. Only day two and they already have such distinctive personalities. I'm sure we have lots more fun to look forward to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethBubbles Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Smudge has to be the only cat who is scared of chicks! She's so daft, she wont go anywhere near them! So funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Gorgeous! How old are they? My chicks are 8 days old now. I could sit and watch them all day, they're so funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 How cute! Feel all maternal now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethBubbles Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 They're all three weeks old except the two silkie chicks who are six weeks old. I'll post lots more pictures as they grow! Everyone keep your fingers crossed lots of them are girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 What breeds are they? It's a bit hard to tell at that age. I think I like Fajita best (but they are all cute). Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethBubbles Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 They're a real hotch potch of everything! The two bigger ones are silkies. Mr Fantastic is starting to become my favourite but Dave is also very cuddly! My boyfriend thinks Bruno is the best - yesterday evening he was sitting with him at the computer!

susanbb Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think Pingu is so aptly named . Really looks like the other Pingu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh they are so cute, I think Dave has to be my favorite (might be biased though ). Your cat Smudge is so gorgeous too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethBubbles Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I keep wanting to give them treats! Does anyone know if there are any treats we could give the chicks or are they too young? I don't want to upset their tummies but thought they might like a few s"Ooops, word censored!"s of lettuce or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
