These are the new Americauna chicks. One of them has just taken the first bites of chick feed; you can see her (we hope it's a her) peeping just over the feeder. The rustling of their blanket being pulled aside as I brought the camera into range has caused them to bunch up, checking in all directions, like a family of meercats. They know their business straight from the egg."Aww ... why couldn't we get Barred Rocks?"
"Customers want green eggs."
"Oh."

It's amazing how many people expect green eggs to be different on the inside. Sometimes I think they are almost disappointed...
ReplyDeletei wish i could keep chickens in an apartment... meh. i walked to the store today in the cold cold air just to get my legs moving. i miss having land to walk and gardens to work.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Our customers want brown eggs - the darker the better. So I get to keep the green ones for our use. Fine!
