One of our favorite spring rituals is picking out a couple more baby chicks to add to Chez Poulet. This morning one of our local feed stores had two chicks that I had been looking to get - a Blue Cochin and a Rhode Island Red. We already have one Red and I really like her. She is smaller and a great layer. We have two cochins - a buff and a black. As I am partial to blue birds (our rooster is a blue splash bantam cochin and my sweet frizzle is a blue splash as well) I was quite excited to see that they had blue chicks in!
Aren't they darling?

I love the baby chicks!
We had chickens when I was a girl, they were a lot of fun. My sister and I would sometimes try to dress them doll clothes. :)

They are now Rose and Blue Belle~ Most of our hens are named after flowers and desserts - two of my favorite things!
You taught me something new today, I had no idea that chickens naturally come in blue. They are so cute!
What is it about baby chicks? Too cute. And just in time for Easter too!
My Mother and Father always let me get a couple of chicks during the early spring- I hadn't thought about that in a long while- thank-you!
So cute. Peep-peep!
