Chickies, Chickies, Chickies!! Meet the new additions! (Pic heavy!)

This is Rangi's 'I think I can jump that' face.

And shortly afterward...

"No fair!"

And this is what happens when she hops over before I'm ready. Unhappy face.

LOOK AT HER TAIL!

Po!!!! He's such a little guy!!

Here, Chickenfan, more fuzzy butts. Po and Hika Ma, the two bantam babies:

Hika Ma! (And Huka)

Sleepy Hika Ma

Huka and Roha--Look at Huka's face!

Ihi:

Marama apparently did not want her picture taken.

Tiwhiri with her wings out! Silly baby!

 

[Chickenfan4life]

Po still has a fuzzy butt, Pipd...

Cute pictures! They look so happy. I just had to laugh at that picture of Rangi behind bars. Too funny!

Alright, y'all, the camera died--DUN DUN DUNNNN!--so I don't have any pictures today. Here's what's up with the babies, though:

The wavering sick / not sick chickie, Roha, seems fine now. I don't know if it's from the tetracycline or if she just got cold that day or something. Tiwhiri, who also had a little crackle, is not crackling anymore and I'm beginning to suspect that perhaps she clacked her beak in my ear and did not have any respiratory symptoms after all.

PO!!! Oh, goodness, he's getting little wing feathers!! I'm hoping that the fact that he's feathering out so slowly means that he is a boy--I pretty much want him to be my little guy at this point.

Rangi the troublemaker is still trying to fly out of the brooder whenever I'm in the room. She always wants out of that brooder--not onto my lap, not into my arms for attention, just out of the brooder! She takes off into my room if I don't stop her! Then, she screams at me when I do stop her!

And everyone is well into the scratching phase, so I am constantly cleaning the waterer out. I can hang it, but it's a little too high for Po if I do, so I guess I'm just going to have to wait until the little guy is a bit bigger.

The camera's charging--shouldn't take more than an hour or two before I can start taking pictures!

So, good news about the babies. I love to hear this kind of news, but...

...It's been our hours ago that you posted this, and you said the camera would be charged in about 1-2 hours, so I only have on question...

... WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?

JK! (But pictures would be nice...)

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Welll.... This is all I've got from before the camera died.

Hika Ma and Ihi scratching the bedding up into the waterer.

And here is Rangi!!

Tiwhiri

Fuzzy feet! Guess who!

I forgot to check the charge on my camera until after the chickies went to sleep under their EcoGlow, but I will try to get tons more pictures tomorrow! I was telling my harp teacher about the babies on Friday and she gave me a good idea for practicing reading music, so stay tuned for that...

Hahaha, that picture of Rangi is priceless!

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Practicing my notes! This didn't work at ALL, because I was too busy with the peeps to read the flash cards.

And of course, Rangi's in all three pictures.

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Hika Ma!

Huka, who was upset because everyone else had hopped out of the brooder.

Oh, the injustice!

Po!!! Sitting patiently on my lap while I took pictures!

Rangi, who has started hopping up onto my lap.
