well, a lot has happened the past couple weeks.
:: 1 more week until Holly & Tony's wedding.
i really must go pick up my dress from my mum who altered it for me. thank goodness for seamstresses in the family! i've picked up a brand new pair of lovely birkenstock's for the wedding too. i simply refuse to spend money on a pair of heels i would never wear again. my birk's are comfort+style+i'll have em forever! Holly picked up a silver pair for her big day too! oh how comfy our feet will be together!
::the chickens are now a couple weeks old! oh my! they nearly tripled in size, im tellin ya! i just moved them today from the 25 gal. aquarium i had them in, to a larger rubbermaid bin; mainly to give them more space, i noticed they continuously kept 'flying' or making attempts to, get out!! the top is covered now with some chicken wire. this was mainly to deter my parents dog dakota, whom we were dog sitting for the other weekend, and well, the chicks sure sound like a squeeky dog toy to her! we've been having such fun and amusement in watching these chicks! it really has surprised us all their funny little behaviours.
For example; the two chicks who are of the same breed seem to lay together and follow one another moreso then the odd one out (who i've called Mabel, the other two don't have names yet) who is a diff. breed than them.
Mabel seems to be the more calm one of the 3. When i hold her, she gets settled and quite content, sometimes even drifting to sleep!
The dominant lady chick, and jan has noticed this too!, seems to really rule the roost! it's quite funny. When she is taken out, she chirps SO loud!
ive been giving them small amounts of greens to get them used to scraps, so far they've gotten lettuce, red pepper, and grass clippings. they seem to enjoy it so far!
the coop is also halfway to completion! thanks to Scott, for pretty much doing all the construction, he is so great at it!!! thank you SCOTT!
:::and finally... i would love to post some photos but, the camera was WASHED is the washing machine. and i didn't do it!! so it pretty much is good for nothing now, so must wait until we can get a new one.... too bad too because i really want to take photos of the coop!
well, such is life!
goodnight
