Hen and Chicks

We had a brooding hen, so I got her some fertilized eggs.  Honey was hatched by one of our older chickens, Spunker, a couple of years ago.  She was able to hatch 6 new baby chicks.  They are a week old now.

The eggs we got were Blue Wyandotte and Lavender Orpington breeds.  As you will notice, none of the chicks look the same.  Don't know why, but we excited about that.  That way we can tell them apart and give them individual names.  We've named half of them already.

Here are pictures of our new chicks.  We hold them everyday in hopes they will be tame.

I want to name this one Tiny, because it's the runt.
My daughter doesn't want that name.  We'll see.

Chug
My daughter chose that name because this one is a big water drinker.

A great big thanks to Cindee, who sold us the eggs.  We're thrilled!
