Changes to the flock!!!

  Sadly, Ivy had to find a new home today :(.  We got two new chicks, Mille Fleur Bantams, and Ivy just would not quit picking on them.  We took them out to the coop for a while, and everyone was fine there, but back in the brooder she went back to being really mean to them.  So, we found her a new home with someone who has property, and got a replacement, an Americauna Pullet ... she will lay blue or blue/green eggs.  Karsen insisted on naming her Ivy too.  But I think she looks more like a Lacey.  We'll see if I can talk him into Lacey.

   The two Mille Fleur Bantams will be tiny chickens as adults and lay teeny eggs.  They are really beautiful when they are full grown though!  Their names are Penelope and Gidget.

  The chicks were outside for a few hours today enjoying their coop.  They got to pick at dandelions and some bird seed.  

  Way more exciting was eating some wax worms (buy them for my leopard gecko).  They all ran around like crazy chickens with worms dangling from their beaks until they figured out how to eat them.  Will try to get pictures of this tomorrow.

  Kyle made them a great perch for their brooder and another for their coop, they love them!!!!

This is Gidget

And another picture of Gertrude, since she is my favorite :))))

Chicks are soooo much fun!!!  I'm so glad we decided to have some :)  And I am so happy there is peace in the flock again!  

Here is an adult Mille Fleur Bantam hen ... Penelope and Gidget should look like this.

The new Ivy (Lacey) should look like this except black and white when she is grown.
