He's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!

Most of my blog readers know I've moved out to the country. (Hurray!) And once you move out to the country, you have to get chickens. Right? Right. So early this morning, I set out with my two sisters and my mom, to go chicken shopping. We ordered some chicks from another "store" online, but they aren't going to be in until May. We, of course, wanted some before May. I wouldn't be posting this, if we hadn't gotten any, but we did get some. Eight to be exact, just for starters. One of the bins at the store had these teeny tiny little chicks. And me being me, I went for the smallest they had. Jeffery. One reason he caught my eye was, because he was the only one with stripes. (Like a skunk!) He's tiny! So very tiny, he likes being held. I held him in the car on the way home, the other "big" chicks, were picking on him. (I was perfectly happy with holding him)

Here are all the chicks.

Can you guess which one is Jeffery?

(Yes, I name my chicks!)

The small striped one of course.

The one with the Egyptian like makeup eyes?

(Yeah, that's what it reminded me of >.<)

Rachel and Abi got one of the same breed

but they are much bigger than Jeffery.

(The brownish color one's are silkies.

I can't remember what breed Jeffery is.)

Side view.

He was trying to sleep in the car!

Aren't his stripes cool?

You can tell in this picture how tiny he is!

So, here's Jeffery. He's mine ♥

I think everyone else named their chicks something like Rocky (Elijah), Corn (Rachel), ButterCup (Abi), Colonel Sanders and Church (Joshua) And Aaron's.... Well Aaron's is Rainbow. Once we get the other fourteen chicks we ordered, I'll be naming mine Squishy, Saute', Yellow and Popsicle. I'd also like to name one or two Cappuccino (Call her/him Cap) and Mocha (Mo)

These chickens aren't meat chickens. Especially not Jeffery. >.< But next year, we will be getting meat chickens... But for now, we'll stick with the layers.

What do you think of Jeffery?

And I say goodbye..

For a little while. I'm officially moving Wednesday March 9th. Its come up really fast, and I was afraid I wasn't going to get all the packing done. (Still haven't gotten all of it done, but we're almost done, we finish tomorrow.) Then off to get the moving trucks. I get to sleep on a mattress on the floor tomorrow night. That will be weird, usually I sleep on the top bunk.

Annyway. Hopefully I'll have internet service again soon, then I'll post again. Meanwhile, I have some scheduled picture posts. They'll be posting every couple days =)

Just a few things before I disappear completely.

I know. I've haven't been blogging much. I'll tell you about that soon.

I shall be disappearing soon, for a few weeks.

Same reason I haven't been blogging much.

I should probably explain now. Though I know most of you know why..

We are hoping we'll be able to move into our new house a week from today.

Thats right, a week from today.

I'm really disliking this moving process.

I had to pack up all my books.

And return almost all of my library books.

And the boys went to a airsoft war today.

While the girls stayed home and bought a fridge.

Bought a fridge. Isn't that exciting? Not really. Quite boring actually.

Spring is finally on its way. Along with thunder and rain.

And flowers and tornadoes. Lovely combination.

I'm going to start a garden when we move. A big garden.

With lots of peppers and tomatoes and watermelon.

And onions. Green onions. Lots of onions!

I have had fun editing pictures for this blog post.

I discovered Picnik not to long ago. I love it.

I WILL be posting something else in a few days. I'm excited.

Now I shall end this random post with one last picture.

Gott segne!
