The girls have not started laying eggs just yet, we got them just after Easter so they are still not producing anything for us. We are expecting anxiously, in fact we can hardly wait! The kids loved the baby chicks, we got them at 24 hours of age and they were perfect fluff balls and tiny too. Baby animals are some of the most lovely things to be around. We started with 8, we are down to 7 we've already had a racoon encounter and let me tell you that my next purchase will be a shot gun! They are very mild and eat alot! They do have names, but the girls keep on changing their mind and I can't keep up with them for now we call them the chickadees.
Troy's is my favorite choice and he has not budged, he's is called screwdriver, because of it's markings he said, she's an Americauna and I can't wait for those green eggs! Trey's chicken name is Yellow and it has always been the straight black one she is the most tame because he can't seem to ever want to put her down. I'm thrilled that the kids love animals, I grew up around animals and it was great, I'm glad they're like me but we're still working on Grant.

Ha ha! When I was in town I couldn't believe how many people had taken up chickens! It looks like your kids are having a ball.
I love that you blogged! The names of the chickens crack me up.
