8 week old Rhode Island Reds
3 month old White Leghorn
8 week old Plymouth Rock (Barred Rock)
We got 7 chickens first and then 8 showed up at our doorstep the next day! They went outside of their coop for the first time today. We wanted them to get used to being in the coop so they wouldn't wander far when they went out. They ate lots of bugs and ran around the yard. It was amusing! Margaret has named the Plymouth Rocks "Michael Jackson" (because it doesn't matter if you're black or white), the white leghorns "Snowflake," and the 3 little rhode island reds are called "Sally, Jesse, Raphael." Very funny! The lightest big rhode island red is called "Peanut" because of her color (even though she's the largest of our pullets!) And lastly, my favorite little chicken is part rhode island red and plymouth rock and I named her "Nugget." She's my favorite because she let's us pet her and pick her up. My neighbor gave them Marigolds and strawberry caps as a treat today and I gave them sour blueberries. These are going to be some spoiled chickens! I can only imagine what it will be like when we have kids someday!
