The Cutest Chicks of All!

This is one cute chick!  (I mean the one on the left!)  Charis meets a three-day old baby Naked Neck.
Awww!  Charis kisses a baby chick!
Two cute chicks!  Monique and Charis gaze raptly at the chicks.
Charis touches a chick's beak.
Mimi holds her favorite Ameraucana (which reminds me of my good hen Pepita when she was a chick).  Didi has already named it: Pepi-two!
Kara holds another Ameraucana chick.  Sadly, we found a dead chick when we went out with Monique and Charis.  We aren't sure what happened, but the others all seem happy and healthy.
One of the Naked Necks eats a dead moth that it found.  They are great little foragers--and ravenous, too!  Another one caught a dead wasp, and half a dozen of them chased it all over, trying to grab the wasp, before the victorious scavenger finally gulped down its prize.

  2. Thanks! Charis loved the chicks, and it was so funny watching her watch them. Even though she was glad to pet one at a time, she didn't want to get off Monique's or my lap--I think because if someone stands up, all the chicks skitter away, and they sound just like a bunch of cockroaches! I think Charis wasn't sure what they were going to do!
