Oh,wow,it has been a while since I've been on here. Update time! Yes,they are huge! Lol it turns out Nugget's a roo (a gorgeous one, at that), so we had to find him a new home. He's happy now with a flock of his own. Sadly, Nia has become a bit of a recluse, as our girls are not the friendliest...
Alright,so I made a member page. Still not too sure how it works, but I'll get the hang of it. If you'd like to check it out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-chick-who-lived
This is the continuing tale of Amelia Pond and Nugget, the chicks I managed to hatch with the help of some truly amazing people. I accepted the suggestion of making a member page, but honestly,this is my first time making one. So,please forgive me if I do some things wrong. I'm going with this...

And here's some more pictures of Amelia and Nugget (yes,I finally chose a name for egg #2. and the name goes against...

So this morning I decided the girls' box was too boring...
And I still haven't named this chicky! Any ideas? Something that ends in 'a' would be nice, since all of our other hens end in 'a' (Minerva,Jessica,Fiona,Samoa,Elliana,Amelia..)
