Ben hid these baby hens at our house for a few days untill he could sneak them home for Christmas morning. For some reason I had an unreasnable desire to keep them. I fell in love with them.
We kept them in the computer room where I could come and go and talk to them and listen to their beautiful soft little peeps.
They are silkie and soft and oh so fuzzy. The most beautiful blue I have ever seen. I guess eventually they grow up a little bigger but not like Foghorn Leghorn.
Ayhow, I really wanted to keep them and told Ben to go buy some more for Winter. He has been reasearcing and looking for months to get just two chicks. Oh well. He told me I would have to break it to Winter. Not a problem, she would get over it. She didn't even know she was getting them anyway. That was her big request to Santa though. And we all want fesh eggs. But honestly kids don't get everything they want, right?
When push came to shove, Maw Maw came through. I think I was kidding about all of the above, but I am not really sure.
Now looking at Winter's sweet happy face with the big toothy grin, I guess I did the right thing.
Awww, how cute! Ben is a good daddy and I'm sure Winter will be a good mommy to the chicks. You did the right thing.
