How to choose?

[bellium]

This morning I picked up 10 Easter egger chicks from the local natural pet center which I had preordered with the intention of keeping four and giving the rest to the veterinarian I work with. She doesn’t care which ones she gets, and now I’m faced with Sophie’s choice: how to choose among so much cuteness?

My 10 year old son, who helps out a lot with the chickens, chose this one and the one below - so two left for me to pick.

The remaining contenders:

I don’t even know where to begin, though I will say that the derp face on that last chick is pretty appealing. Help me choose!

I like the look of number four and five

Impossible.... rock, paper scissors each one. Let fate choose

Should I just put them in a bag, shake ‘em up and stick my hand in there?

seven and eight!

The last one for sure (just look at those fluffy cheeks!). Hmmm... then maybe number 6? That one looks like it will be an interesting color when it grows up. They're all so cute though

I vote 5 and 8, or 2 and 8.

Wow, that's a hard choice!! (Of course you really can't go wrong, though.)
Maybe number 7, because it will definitely be a different color from the other 2 you already selected.
And maybe number 8...or number 2...
I would go for variety so each chook ends up being a unique color.

8’s a definite keeper, I’m attached to her already. She’s a bit unsteady on her feet and seems not quite as savvy as the other chicks, and so of course she must be mine. just one left to choose...

I think the first one is really cute.
