I would say hold off because mealies I get are 20% fat and maybe one mealie is too much fat for a tiny liver to handle. But I'm hyper-vigilant about fatty liver disease right now.

Maybe a tiny bite...

That's what I was worried about MJ. I'm a briber with POLs. They simply can't resist a tasty mealworm. Chicks probably can't either but whether they should have them or not...

They would be eating bugs if they were with their mama!

Well. I am grumpy this evening - brutal week at work.
I typed the above entry and thought grumpily "time they produced an egg"... ... ... Then I grumpily bundled up to go out to close the Princesses up for the night and set the mouse-traps and cameras ... ... ... ... And I grumpily stomped through the rain ... .... .... ... And I grumpily picked my way through the mud to get to the Chicken Palace ... ... ... ... ... And I grumpily checked the egg boxes ... ... ..... And ... ... ... ...

Well, I may have Portia wrong...& Desdemona was too much for so little chicken... I have a few days to see how the names sit with everyone.

I'm amazed that you could settle on the names so fast. There's no harm in waiting a few days to get to know each other better. They are all so sweet!

My favourite names are still Cordelia and Viola and of course Mistress Quickly!

Given my track record remembering the names of the chickens at Shad's house, I'm bookmarking this post for future reference.

Good idea MJ! Bookmarked!

Names are proving enigmatic.
This little girl is definitely Titania.

I'm abuzz with anticipation for the pullet stories over the next couple of months

Me too!

I want her to share tea time with them like it had coffee clatch with Ned and Lucky.

Me too!!!

Great idea!

Looks like we are all coming to your place for a cuppa and chicken time!

 

[micstrachan]

These two are very pretty, and very unusual. I have never seen chickens like them (well, with all my vast experience...)
What are they? Anyone?

I assume you got your answer of Vorwerks (?) by now.

Good idea MJ! Bookmarked!

It's an uphill battle! I need all the help I can get
