easter chicks

Finally, I break from the rain. It has been a miserable spring here in the midwest. No complaints today though. Beautiful! I was up at 4am to drive an 1.5 hours to Freeport Illinois to the small animal swap with my friend Tamara.

Anna had inquired a week or so ago when we were going to have some baby chicks.Well, I wasn't planning on hatching or getting baby chicks this year but who am I to deny my 4 year old the pleasure of having baby chicks. So, my goal was to get some 1 or 2 Americana bantams for her to enjoy. Plus, I had to pick up a Rhode Island Red Rooster from Trisha of County Line Hatchery. I've purchase from Trish before, hatching eggs and chicks. Her stock is so nice.

So.....Here is Mr. Rhode Island Red Rooster

 Here is one of the lovely little bantam chicks - I ended up getting 3.
You never know

you might lose one and then you wouldn't want the other to get lonely

Then I decided I should really get some standard size Americanas. I was just going to get three, really I was. I couldn't decide between the blue, black or splash. So, thought I should have one of each and then you know what are the odds you would have three hens? Better get 6 to increase the odds.

 Here is Anna- she is thoroughly enjoy her new babies.
In fact she was very quick to name 2 of them.
Remember Anna has a talent for coming up with unique names?

This is Shirley Temple.

This one is just Shirley.

Happy Easter Everyone!

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.

Many Blessings,

Kathy
