New Chicks


Meet the two new girls. 
Their names are Lucy and Cinnamon.

They hatched the day before yesterday, on the 11th. 
However, I am only fostering them until they are old enough to go their forever home.

Lucy is an Ameraucana chick. I'm not quite sure what color she will turn out to be, though. Her adopted sister, Cinnamon, is some kind of Maran cross who is supposed to turn out mostly black.
Mostly I'm worried about whether they're going to be roosters or hens.

The pictures above and below are of them riding in a cardboard box on the way to our house.


They were very interested in the chick heater.

After the chicks settled in for a nap I let out the girls.


Ginger soon walked up to the door (possibly wondering if that was where the grubs came from).



Everyone enjoyed the time outside.

  1. I wonder what the Girls think of the new chicks… have they had a chance to hear their callings?

  3. I bet the girls like all those dandelions for a snack! Will be interesting to see how the new chicks turn out and if they change colors much. Give us some more updates!
