Chirping
Hello!
It's my first time posting on BYC but I've been lurking since last fall when I decided that I needed chickens to keep me occupied if we moved outside the city. We're moving in two weeks and in the meantime, I've got a batch of 10 chicks in my brooder set-up. I initially ordered twice that but they spent 4 days in shipping and sadly a lot of them just couldn't handle that and died within the first two days. I ordered a mixed box of rare-breeds since I'm fond of variety(I'm also working on an heirloom garden that so far consists of three fig trees because a wild hog keeps eating all my seedlings if I direct sow). I really hope that it was just shipping stress and not something I did because I've got 10 replacements coming from a much closer hatchery that can get to me in a more reasonable time frame.
Icarus(tried to fly into the heat lamp)
Marshmallowhead(to be renamed when she does something interesting)
Hannibal or her look alike(thinks other chicken's toes are food but hasn't hurt any of them)
Pilot(flies out of the brooder when she's startled, we're changing our set-up today to prevent that)
Icarus' look alike(hasn't done anything interesting yet)
Edit: Maybe this is Pilot's look alike instead now that I can look at the coloring without her squirming everywhere.
Mercury or her sister(she caught a fly as fast as lightning and keeps trying)
Unnamed (nothing noteworthy yet)
It'll be fun to see what breeds they grow up to be. Feel free to guess ^_^
