My Eight New Babies
About 5 Weeks ago I decided that it would be fun to raise some chicken. So I did TONS of research on them, everything from breeds to coops. Then I went on to a website called MyPetChicken.com and ordered six Rhode Island Reds. I was thrilled but wouldn't have them for 5 weeks,it probably didn't help that I ran out and bought everything for these babies. About 4 weeks ago we went to IFA and CAL ranch stores where they had baby chicks. Mom and I wanted to buy a few right then but Raymond said NO and that it was too risky with picking a rooster, so with our heads hung we left. Then a week later we go back to CAL Ranch and they had gotten a new shipment of chicks and had a bin with guaranteed girls..... well then he saw her, FLO is her name! So we picked another and went home. They have been so much fun and are a blast to play with and take outside (when its nice...)! Well yesterday was the day when I got a call from the post office at 5:00am saying that they had a "Peeping Box" for me! I jumped right up and left to get them. There they were just a peeping away, I felt bad that I couldn't even get the box open cause I didn't have scissors but we made it home and there they were........
Here is the picture of what I saw when I opened the box
Notice the one by itself..... Well that one is June as in Junior, as in Daxie junior ( get it, red hair and fat!!!)
they are so much fun and we cant wait for the 45 eggs a week we will get... ya if you want some lets us know we will be HAPPY to give you some! But not until about August!
Here is another picture for now with the two other ones also
I guess I should mention the names we have for them, most of them are after Famous redheads...
BEE - Brody insisted that we named her that
Flo - Rays Mothers name
Rush - Jon's favorite band
Lucille - Lucille Ball
Ginger - Geri Haliwell ( yes the spice girl!)
June - After Daxie
That is all we have for now but I am thinking of Norma jean (Marilyn Monroe)Kate, Amy or Debra. Let me know what you think!!!!
