Aren't they
sweet? I just love these little
girls. They are so darling.
We were planning to
add two more to our flock this year and after much thought and discussion we
agreed we should go ahead with our plan and get the peeps.

| What ya got in there? |
 |
| Peepers! |
A couple weeks ago
the youngest and I headed off to the feed store to see what they had. And of course it didn't take much for these
two little darlings to worm their way right into our hearts.
 |
| She is going to have beautiful coloring |
Josephine is a Sagitta
and she'll be quite large. She is
already twice the size of her sister.
Once mature she will lay large brown eggs.
 |
| Love those fuzzy cheeks |
Phoebe is a Shade
Gray Aueracana and already shows her fluffy cheeked plumage. She'll have black and dark gray feathers. Eventually she will lay blue eggs.
 |
| Everyday they get bigger and bigger. |
 |
| And they love playing with Mom and the cat too |
 |
| So cute! And not at all spoiled |
We still miss our
other girls, but we are very happy to have these little babies join our family.
How darling! They will be great additions to your family. <3
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying them a lot.
DeleteHow sweet! I love going to Tractor Supply and seeing all the baby chicks and ducks!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun. They had ducklings too. So cute.
DeleteAw! Aren't they sweet?!? Congratulations on your new additions! How long will it take before it's safe to introduce them to the older gals?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Probably about 4 months give or take. It will all depend on how they get along.
DeleteBeautiful little chickies! (Except I think you should get at least two more. You've got customers for eggs, and feeding 6 -- or even 8 -- chickens is no harder than 4.)
ReplyDeleteThe cat really enjoys playing with them??
The city limits us to 5. I'm thinking of adding a couple more in a year or two to stagger out the egg laying.
DeleteSo sweet..
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy.
DeleteBlue eggs for future Easter's to come!
ReplyDeleteSure they're not spoiled ;)
D.
Oh no, not at all. ;0)
DeleteI'm so impressed with your cat not wanting to eat those precious babies. Do you think she/he could teach my 3 some manners?
ReplyDeleteHe's never been one to bother other animals. I do have one kitty that would love to eat them, but he knows I'd murder him. However, I know what he is thinking....
DeleteCute little biddies!
ReplyDeleteThey are growing so fast!
DeleteYour cat behaving impressed me.

I'd say it is because he is 19 years old, but he's always been that way. Definitely no mouser!
