I got my first chicks! I now am the proud parent to four small fluffy future egg layers. I got them from a feed store in Kaneohe after work, totally worth the drive. Two ameraucanas and two barred plymouth rocks are the first of hopefully many that will inhabit my yard. I can't believe that it actually happened after years of dreaming about them, they are here and now comes the hard part of keeping them alive. Is it a little weird that I have names already? They are: Camille, Agnes, Annalise, and Pearl. The ladies snuggled down and warm in their temporary brooding box. I am constantly checking to make sure that the box isn't too warm or too cold.. worry worry. Rosey and Khan, my two bullmastiffs haven't been allowed in the house yet, I know at some point they will have to meet the chicks, but I am pretty sure a more delicious bullmastiff snack could not exsist!
With these new girls actually here, I am hoping it will give me a big push to get going and finish their coop. This weekend hopefully will be productive, and I will at least get it framed and maybe finish the outer hardware cloth the next.
