Today is a great day to own chickens. We cleaned out our chicks bedding and we gave them clean water and food. This helps keep them healthy and grow up to be big chickens.
Yesterday our chicks crawled all over mommy. And they pecked at her freckles. Some went behind her hair and some didn't. The ticklish one was Jadzia. That made me laugh. Daizy pooped on mommy's shoulder and I had to clean it off.
One of the chicks got on daddy's hat and we took a picture of it. That's all I want to talk about today.
(From Daddy: Here are today's stats on the chicks.
Flower: Weighs 3.4 ounces and is about 7.0 inches long.
Rhoda: Weighs 2.8 ounces and is about 6.25 inches long.
Daisy: Weighs 2.3 ounces and is about 5.25 inches long.
Jadzia: Weighs 1.2 ounces and is about 4.25 inches long.
We will soon be developing a graph charting their growth using an Excel spreadsheet. Look for it to be posted here in the next week or so. We also bought a toy for the chicks to play with; four little plastic balls with bells in them which hangs from their perch. They are still unsure about it but are definitely interested. They have circled it many times trying to figure out what it is all about. Daisy has pecked at it a couple of times. That is all to report for today.)
