The girls 6 wks - 10 wks old
We have been very fortunate with our first 6 girls. There have been no serious illnesses, no injuries (aside from a couple scraps on Lilly's leg) and no losses. The girls are thriving and getting really big.
Sandy aka Diva Chicken has become the total Diva. She simply loves and adores Cheyenne. We so love her that we ordered 3 more Ameraucana's for our July order.
Speckles is just spoiled rotten. She rides with me in the van to go get my favorite mocha latte in town, goes to school with Cheyenne and swings on the swing set at school.
Lilly is still head honcho in the brooder. She took over top spot from maggie at about 4 weeks old and they still scuffle for that top spot every now and again. Lilly has had a couple scrapes on her leg from tussling with Maggie.
Molly and Holly are adorable. They look like vultures some days.
Maggie is still aloof and trying to take the head honcho job. She is great when you pick her up she just does not make that easy. LOL
They are still living in the spare bedroom in the hot tub frame and have their tractor for outdoor playtime but we are not building their coop until we get into our new house the end of July. They will also be joined by 21 new babies coming from Meyer Hatchery around the 23rd of July.
Today they were joined by 5 more Black Australorps that are a week old. I will be raising these and taking care of them for Sir William O'Farrell. He is building my coop and will supply their feed and eat their eggs. I am a sucker for fuzzy butts so I agreed to this plan.
The Girls were none to pleased to see the new babies and I am sure they are plotting their demise. The sent glares and nasty looks at the little ones. Spoiled brats they are.
More updates later and pics of the new girlies.
