Pollitos...Baby Chickens




The newest edition to our family...Jessica brought me this baby chick last week and since has brought me another. Their mother didnt want them and they were the only 2 that hatched from her batch of eggs. So I have been designated their new mom. The one I have in the picture is so sweet and I think really thinks Im her mom. She loves to be held and if I put her down she follows me everywhere trying to hop up on to my shoes. If I put my hand in her box she runs over and tries to get on my hand. She funny. The newer one we think is a boy so Im trying not to get attached since I dont want any roosters waking me in the morning. So as soon as hes big enough he´ll be going back to their house. Hes super cute though and looks like he has black eye liner around his eyes. Also he has a black and red stripe down his back. So we call him Egypt cause he looks egyptian.

I thought of this joke when I read your posting-why did the chicken cross the road? Colonel Sanders...I missed one?
