i love these chickens! [View all]

i think they are a stitch. i have 7 that are about a month old. mostly feathered, running around acting like chickens. they were a little over a week old when i got them, and seem to have grown a million fold. but i picked up the backordered 5 today, and they are only 2 days old. little balls of fuzzy air.
4 are araucanas, all different colors. and one more wyandott, as a certain god damned little terrier got one. boy i turned my back for one second. but she knows now, and wants nothing to do with the chicks.
bully pup is very interested in them. he isn't a hunter, but he does love to chase things. i have faith that he could not inflict anything on a creature able to move more than his usual 5 miles an hour or so. i think he is just curious, and has shown signs of feeling like he should guard them.
i think with a little time we will work it all out.
