Our New Chicks















 
We got 3 new chicks a couple of weeks ago. We don't know yet if they're hens or roosters. But, we're hoping for hens so that we can collect and enjoy their eggs, when they get bigger! They are Lavender Ameraucana Bantams. Their names are Nugget, Chirpy, and Agoo. I named Chirpy and Jaxon named Agoo. Right now, they are living in a big Rubbermaid bin with a heat lamp and a bed of pine shavings with a water feeder and a chick food feeder. But, they're getting big, so my Mom (Lisa) is working at building them a chicken coop. But, she can only do it when my other Mommy (Steph) is off of work, and she's been working a lot, so it's not getting done very fast! But, we let them outside to let them look for bugs and worms. We put them in a pen and sometimes let them run around outside of the pen (when the dogs are INside)!
