Feathers on Fridays: First edition

Hi, this is Neatnik, guest blogging for Mommy. We picked up five chickens on Wednesday evening. We have been working on naming them. Their blog names are: Elle, Emma, Dee, Red, and Ash.

From the day we got her, Elle has gotten faster and faster. She is black and white. Emma has "sparrow" feathers. She, Red, and Dee are mostly golden. Emma is my favorite chicken. Dee has buff-colored wings. Red has reddish wings. Ash is small, black, and has flecks of white.

In size order, they are: Elle > Red > Dee > Ash > Emma.

My jobs are to make sure they have clean water all the time, medicated chicken food , with grit, every morning, and scratch at night.

The girls - now with names!

All daddies think they're daughters are awesome. Mine did. And the daddy at our house thinks our daughter is awesome too, and she'll be 30 in a few weeks.

Neatnik, I can't wait to hear all about your "girls" and their adventures this summer. Nice names.

Neatnik: welcome to the blog! I'm excited to hear about your adventures with your chickens this summer. Remember, if you are good to the chickens, they will be good to you!

Hey Neatnik, it sounds like a fun summer ahead for you. I look forward to watching your chickens thrive!

Neatnik that was a great introduction to your new pets.

Taking care of them is a lot of reposibility but I'm sure you will be fine now that you are almost in fourth grade.

I'm looking foward to next Fridays report.

Neatnik, good job with the writing! I am so excited that you've got chickens now. I'm sure you'll learn a lot about them this summer.

Would you also like a rat? Ask your Mom, k?

We currently own one hamster, a handful of fish, and five chickens. Had to visit the pet store today for pine shavings. Neatnik asked for a guinea pig.

Oh, yes, chickens can SERIOUSLY foul (fowl!) their water...

Those names are absolutely perfect!! I happen to love chickens so I think they should have the exact right names. Well done!
