Got My Babies!

[Morgan7782]

::runs around screaming:: got my chickies!!!!! 4 of them! Two barred rocks and two EE's! They are so flippin cute. I was in the feed store watching them for a while to see which acted how and which seemed healthy and happy. All four have already eaten, and drank some water. Heat light is on and they are cheeeeeeping happily!

AND OhMYGOSH, my Pit Bull Tommy.. Alright so I brought the cats in first to let them see, there is a very secure top btw, and my newest cat Sampson was watching like "lunch!" and Tommy NIPPED him! The dog won't let EITHER cat anywhere NEAR the brooder, and if they even look wrong at it, Tommy is snipping at them to back off. I have my own little livestock gaurd dog!! Tommy doesn't seem interested in them as food, but he sure 'claimed' them. He did that with Sampson to my older cat when we brought him home as a kitten, protecting Sampson. I didn't think it would be the same with chickies though! I am so totally impressed and happy. YAY!!!!!!!!! Here are a few pictures!

The chicks names are: Binny, Tijuana, Joon, and Sula. Not sure which is which yet, I will see their personalities first

These may not be the BEST pictures heh, will get better!

Thank you very much! All four of these chicks look VERY healthy, very... exuberant (not spelled right). They are eating, drinking, pooping just fine as wine. And they streach their legs!!! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! And they fall asleep standing up until they faceplant into the bedding lol! Wobbily little girls.

Right now they are resting after the trip home, but all is well and peaceful

I am totally in LOVE. Can't wait to see what they will look like when they are older, YAY!

LoL! Well I went through the group, picking each chick up and just getting them familiar with my touch. And just like clockwork, each chick cheeped a few times, and squeezed out a big poop. Approval? I think so! LOL Really though, they are all very friendly, and the EE's have the puffy cheeks! So cute! Will take better pictures once we get through this weekend.
