Well, the chicks were a little bigger than that when I left for Vermont College. I just wanted to post their baby pictures. But I can't seem to find the pictures I thought I had from the few days before I left. So just imagine them bigger, teenagery, with longer necks. The previous picture was from the day they arrived--Father's Day. This one is from now.
Pictured here are Jumbo Cornish Game hens, Buff Orpingtons, Red Stars and Silver Laced Wyandottes. The one in the foreground with the black and copper feathers and the crazy head feathers is most likely a Polish chicken. She/he is the "free exotic chicken" included in my order--sometimes referred to as a "packing peanut." I'm not looking for a rooster, so I'm hoping that she/he is really a she. Time will tell.
The middle grade novel I am writing includes chickens. These girls have been a lot of research help. Wonder if they can help with the revisions.
