The new additions to our family

Gday everyone.. Joe here…
Well today was really exciting as we got some new pets.. 4 little 1 week old chic’s

from left to right we have named them
Charlie the charcoal chicken a.k.a. “Charlie”, Ugg Boot Chicken a.k.a “Ugg”, Bumblebee chicken, a.k.a “bumblebee” and finally little Sock chicken a.k.a “sock”.

Harry and I have had these little chickens at preschool for the last 2 weeks and we seen them hatch out of eggs and have watched them grow..

So Harry helped mum get their new home ready yesterday with woodchips for the floor and some food, water and a nice warm light..

Mum put a call into the chicken expert of the family Uncle Graeme to make sure we were doing everything right and to see when we needed to touch base with him again for phase 2 of the “chicken project”.
Uncle Graeme reported that when they start to fly out of the plastic tub.. CALL HIM BACK!!!!

So we bought them home today..
First thoughts..
Harry loves them… Lily wants to squeeze them.. and well I want to stay away from them as they scare me and “I don’t like them”…

When dad got home from work we got them out for their first play
Lily and Harry jumped right in there while I hung out up on the lounge and as far into the corner as I could get..

after a while mum coaxed me down from the lounge and I sat on her knee and had a play with “bumblebee” and “Charlie”.. I think with time I could really come to love the little chic’s but until I’m comfortable ill just keep my distance..
Lily and Harry on the other hand are in there.. Lily is going to be the one we’ll have to watch.. she almost strangled on this afternoon… anyway time will tell and hopefull time will also bring us some nice eggs as well…
Thankyou very much to Elder Street Early Childhood Centre for letting us bring them home to live with us..
Stay tuned for more chicken updates bought to you by Joe!!!
