Introducing Scamper the Chicken

So this is scamper the chicken. We hatched him from an itty bitty egg. I feel pretty proud since it was our first hatch and we had at least one chick survive. We are still waiting for two more to hatch, they've pipped but we are waiting for the official "birth"

Caitlin Holding Scamper, as you can see Scamper is VERY content in her arms. If he's whiney from being lonely, she picks him up and quiets right down, he actually walked right to her tonight wanting to be picked up. At bed time tonight she kept saying her baby needed her 'cause Scamper was chirping VERY loudly. Its very cute

More pics to follow!

Kelly - the pictures are wonderfu1... What are you going to do with the chickens when they are older - are you and Tom building a coop or something?

XOXOXOXO Steph

Wow! I saw all those chicks on your flickr. How many in all? I'm so glad you didn't kill them with the thermometer crisis. I was feeling bad for you. Well, congratulations.
