We went to Orangeville and got 3 really
cute 2 week old chicks. The chicks names are Buttercup, Edith and
Margo. Buttercup and Edith are white silkies, Margo is grey right
now but will probably grow up really cool looking. Edith is super
fluffy and is named after the little girl in Despicable Me; 'It's so
Fluffy!'. The lady in Orangeville had lots of chickens, some of them
were really cool and cute! There was a really pretty Polish hen,
with orange and black feathers! There were some nice little chicks
and lots of different breeds too.
This is one of the coolest chicks we've ever seen! It is a frizzle and it looks like it pecked a socket, and all its feathers are standing on end!
She had a barn full of chickens, and
some cool cages filled with silkie chicks... These were the nicest
silkies that we have ever seen. So calm and fluffy and cute! Oh,
and did I mention the two horses and a hackney pony? I got to play
with the chicks and feed them corn from my hand. We brought some
carrots to feed to the two horses and one hackney pony. We spent
quite a bit of time deciding which chicks we wanted to bring home,
and are quite happy with the choices made.
Although the drive was long, it was
TOTALLY WORTH IT!
The chicks in the incubator are sitting
at the right temperature, and we won't check them until lockdown
(which is only a few days away now).
Here's a shot of the girls!
Cheeping..... and still cooking....and
moving...and growing...
