CHICKS!!!!

We got chicks! And boy are they cute! We got one Rhode Island Red named Ginny (from a book series called Harry Potter), one Black Austrolorp named Minerva McGonigal(again, from Harry Potter) one Turken (it looks like a buzzard!) named Sybill Trelawney (yes, you guessed it: it's from Harry Potter too) and one Buff Orpington that will be biggest of all named Madame Maxime(all of the names are from Harry Potter.)

All of them seem to be doing good. They're all very small, and want to explore all of their new home, but they're babies so they also just can't resist falling asleep! They go run all over their cage and then start getting sleepy and doze off and fall on their nose. Then one of the chicks wakes up and starts cheeping and then the other chick gets woken up and then she goes back to sleep (in a better position.) They're SO, SO, SO cute!!!! :D

I can hear them peeping and cheeping now.
We built a nest for them out of socks(i think they like it.)


They're all so cute, well maybe with one exception: the Turken, like I said: it looks like a Buzzard!!! :O

But even she's cute.

Here's some pics!!
Enjoy! :)

Here's the kids at the feed store:


















And here is Ginny, our very needy Rhode Island Red (she cheeps loudly every time she notices we've left the room and *loves* to fall asleep curled up in one of our hands. What a doll!), Sybill Trelawney, our very goofy looking Turken, Minerva our handsome Australorp and a fuzzy bottom that belongs to Madame Maxime, our Buff Orpington.
















Here is Ginny, falling asleep on the feed trough...



















And a closeup of crazy Sybill
