Day 8

A week has gone by since I got the chicks and boy have they grown! Goodbye baby chick fuzz. They are now decked out in wing feathers (and starting to get tail feathers and body feathers ) they are flapping about testing the roost and jumping all over the place, excited that there wings now fit there body (lol) There minds have also grown sharper and they've grown more used to me. In fact today the black chick and the orange chick slept in my hand!!! The black and white chick is more cautious, but is more relaxed around me then she used to be. Also I think I have figured out the pecking order here are my guesses:

1. The Rhode Island red is the highest in the pecking order I could tell it from day one. She is also not frightened to remind the other chicks that she is on top! I think she is the most calm around me out of the three chicks
2. The black Plymouth rock is second in the pecking order, even though she is the smallest she is one fierce chick! She has gotten a lot calmer around me then she was in the beginning BUT I think she gets frightened the easiest. Maybe that's the reason she has gotten a lot calmer around me
3. Last but NOT least is the black and white plymouth rock. She is like a little mother for the other chicks, always worried when I take one of the other two out of the brooder, and the lightest sleeper out of the three chicks (always jumping awake if there is a loud noise) She is also was the last one of the chicks to get wing feathers

Day 7

I have decided that it would be really sad if I had no pictures of me holding the chicks on my blog. So here is my attempt to remedy that situation. I took the pictures with the camera in one hand and the chick in the other (:

Feeding Time!!!

I've gotten to the point with the chicks that after I am done picking them up and put the chick back in the brooder the chick will hang out on my hand for a bit before she hops off.

Thinking Of Names

Please tell me what you think about these names for the chicks! I've tried to come up creative names.

1. Demeter: Why I Picked this,   The greek goddess of Horticulture and agriculture  
2. Papagena: Why I Picked this, One of the characters in the Magic Flute (Opera)
3. Medio Pollito (Nickname, Medly) : Why I Picked this, Have you read the story about Medio Pollito the half chick??? Go and Type in Medio Pollito into your computer and you will find the story.         Did you find it? Good. I like the version when Medio Pollito helps the water, fire and air, instead of not helping them. If you didn't find the story I will post my favorite version today or tomorrow (:

p.s I have not decided who to name what yet.
