We've been wanting to get some egg-laying hens for a while. I finally broke down and ordered some day-old chicks from the feed store. Originally, I only wanted 2 but the lady I put my order in with said to over-order "in case they don't all make it." Who can say no to those cute little fuzzy puff balls with legs? So we now are the proud owner of 4 chicks, Mabel (short for Maybeline... she's got some wicked eye-liner going on), Gertrude, Angus and Malcom (I know, I know... those last 2 aren't "girl" names, but we had to pay some sort of tribute to AC DC). You can barely see the 4th chick behind the glass jar. She's a little camera-shy. Once they're old enough to start laying, the yellow and brown stripey chicks will lay green eggs! Green eggs and ham, anyone?
