Yesterday, my two girls and I went to pick out our new chicks.
THESE ARE GOING TO BE EGG-LAYING HENS, not KFC. Working pets, if you will.
Still chocolate-faced from dessert time, and fully gloved in order to prevent poop-hand, my two proud and happy daughters-

And the matriarch of the flock, a Rhode Island Red, named Lady Peep Peep. Apparently, according to my oldest daughter, she has a long lost rooster boyfriend named Justin Peeper. No, I did not get any say in the naming process

In case anyone was wondering, these little hens joined our family in order to become egg-layers, not sandwiches. These are pets, more or less.

Aw, cute. Glad you cleared up that question that was lingering on my mind.

Looks like its Easter time at your house. Brought a smile to my face, thanks for sharing the series.

Janice- Thanks. I was really beginning to wonder why after 2 days I didn't recieve one comment on this post. I would never be so heartless as to post photographs this cute, of baby birds, if they had a meat destiny. Don't get me wrong, I'm a carnivore, but these are pets, which I guess I should have stated clearly at the top of this thread My two girls sure love em somethin fierce!

Amy-
thanks! These new family members have sure brought a ton of smiles to our faces, as well. Glad you liked em they are Soooooooo stinkin cute. I wish I could post a sound bite of their peepin!

HD Kid. Somehow I knew that they were not destined for the dinner table. I've had some things that kept me away for awhile. While they might be tasty with morels, you couldn't eat somebody your family knew.
