On the Move

Today, as my mom decided, was the day to move the chicks from their home in an appliance box, to their Taj Mahal coop. My goodness they are chicken. They scatter every time we try to pick them up. I don't think they quite get the hang of human speech. We were trying to be very calm and reassuring toward them while telling them to hurry up and get in the cat carrier so we could get out of our 100 degree garage. My goodness, they sure are rowdy and chicken.

This is the majority of the 22, scattering

at the sight of me and my camera.

This is my younger brother, JD.

He is very happy to have caught his chick, Nadia.

Here are a few of our girls checking out their new home.

Here I am, letting a few chicks out of the cat carrier.

Here is C, calling for the chicks attention.

Here is Joey, checking out the newest members of the barn.

All the chicks in their new home.

Life out here is, well... simply country

Chicks

Our life here is starting to get so busy that I sometimes forget just how many animals we have. Let's see... twenty-two chickens, two goats, a cat who won't stop talking, a dog that is totally spoiled, and a guinea pig. I mainly am in charge of the goats, a show/dairy goat named Covergirl and her friend, Joey. Most of the time I don't even think about our chickens. But when I do go see them, that makes it all the more suprising. And my goodness are they growing!!!!

This is a chick named Nadia because when she was younger, she looked like a little Russian girl with a fur hat, scarf and coat. Now I think she looks, well, just odd.

This is one of my chicks on the cardboard perch. She's a big bully.And for some reason, she keeps on being a bully no matter how many times I tell her to stop.

This chick is named Hawk, but I am thinking that might be changed to Cock(rooster). He, I mean she, is much larger than the other chicks of his, her, type. Plus, they gave us a free chick. I'm going to check.

Hopefully it is going to be a henand not a rooster. We'll see.

Life here is simply country.
