Our new Chicken Family!
I picked up our new little flock of chickens last night from my husband's cousin who just had too many babies. Shelley - our one and only solid black hen is named for our wonderful cousin! Shelley, Rizzo, Sweetums, and Dr. Teeth are one little hatching family - they had a good momma who raised them, and they are totally inseperable. Henrietta has become my little pet project. She was an only child and her momma didn't raise her well and abandoned her a little too early. She's a loner but seems curious and friendly - so I'm going to try to make her my little buddy.
I'm trying to win them all over quickly - I went down to visit them with treats and I figure I'll do that everyday for a few weeks and they'll be totally tame in no time. I'm trying not to scare them too much the first few days though, I figure last night was pretty traumatic...
