Summer of Chicks!



Here we Are!!
I love summer!  Our garden is in full bloom and the veggies are starting to grow.  We got 1 day old chickies on April 16th - a tax day present to ourselves and they are growing big.  I sit outside with them and let them roam the backyard. 


Here are 3 of the chickies at 1 week old.  From left, Frizyllis, Bounce and Pierce.



GANG OF FOUR!
Here's all four of them at 7 weeks -  from left to right - George - the runt, but getting bigger and finally getting some big girl feathers at 7 weeks.  Pierce - named for the screeching sound she makes when we remove Frizyllis from her sight.  Frizzyllis - we had a long time naming her, asked people on facebook etc, she's  a black frizzle cochin so I started calling her Frizzles, unbeknownst to me Simon and Fallon started calling her Phyllis (as in Dillar) - so now she's Frizyllis - and the ring leader in case you can't tell! Finally - Bounce - she was very wiggly when young and ended being dropped a few times, but always bounced right back.
They are currently 11 weeks old and I need to get some new pics of them!  Will put them up soon.
