Meet Chickie, Monster, Doo, and Rocker, named by (respectively) our 5 year old daughter, our four year old son, our 21 month old, and my husband.
We are head over heels for our new friends. They arrived in a cheeping box on Tuesday and we have been enamoured ever since. Given our very young (and somewhat clumsy) hands, I am not as sure that they are as glad to meet us, though!
They are warming under a (very bright) heat lamp and cheeping away in my husband's basement office. I did order a dark red light/heat bulb to replace the one we have because it seems entirely too bright. I read that chicks may peck at each other less and sleep better with this type of light. We will see...
Right now, we are just happy that we have four healthy new additions to our house. I can barely contain my excitement about our adventures to come with dear Chickie, Monster, Doo and Rocker.

oh chicks! we hope to get some one day ...... can't wait to hear more of your adventures in backyard chickening!
They are soooo cute! Take lots of pictures, because they grow and change really fast. What kinds did you get?
We are loving our four chicks (all Red Stars)--wait 'til you see them now (I'm going to post pics again tomorrow)--they look so different than they did when they arrived in the mail in their little box, four little fluff balls. Now they've got real feathers, and they have tripled in size (it's only been two and a half weeks!).
What fun! My daughter wants to get chicks next year--I'll be looking forward to hearing about all of your experiences!
Yay for chickies! So exciting! I'm living vicariously through you, Sachi!
Love the new banner, too! Happy Spring!!
Oh yay! They are darling! I look forward to hearing all about life with chickens at your house!
Cute!
I'm dreaming about having some one day :)
They are just gorgeous!
