Little Chickens



I never thought that I would be out picking up chicks... with Andrew no less. Get it...Get it! Picking up chicks. Yes very punny.
We bought seven of them. We're planning to keep three or four. We're going to sell the extras or give them to Mom and Dad. There are two Road Island Reds (reddish brown birds), two Barred Rocks (Henny Penny was a barred rock) and three Americanas(they lay blue eggs). They are currently living in the bathroom in the old ferret cage with their heat lamp. The lamp makes the bathroom so warm that we've been leaving the window open. We want to keep the chickens nice and warm but we don't want to cook them. Julius has been showing a sinister interest in the chicks. As soon as he sees them he goes from being very a sweet knucklehead to a complete creeper. Hence the chickens are shut in the bathroom.
