My little babies from this year are almost all grown up. My black Australorps are already trying to make grown-up noises, but they still peep and cheep when they think no one is looking.
Gryffindor, our little EE roo
Everyone together (excluding our two very newest chicks). They're on the alert because a bluejay just flew overhead.
Anna wants to know what I'm up to.
Star has come a long way from his brush with death.
Anna and Mrs. O'Brien
Mrs. Patmore comes running.
Pipsqueak, my littlest chicken.
Mr. Bates. He's shy and quiet. I hope he grows up to be a good rooster.
This young buff orpington is either Honeybear or "Buffy", depending on whether you ask me or my husband. It's a subject of some contention with us.
Sybil says hi! I named this chick after a female character, but I fear she may actually be a he. The name has stuck though--maybe we'll call him Sy for short.
Pipsqueak again. She's so gosh darned cute!
The two newbies: Sugar (back) and Spice (fore) I suspect Sugar is a pullet and Spice a roo, but I won't know for sure for quite a while.
Mrs. Patmore is never far from my side. <3
I can't tell with any certainty if this is Mary or Mrs. Hughes. In person, I can tell them apart in a heartbeat, but it's harder in photos.
they are very pretty chicks good to see star is doing great after his near death experience
pipsqueak is a silver dorking right? she's gourges!!!!!
