We went to the feed store to shop for chicks. Out of many...
we chose two and took them home.
(The ride was kinda scary.)
Meet Winona, the Wyandotte
and Ximena, the Araucana. (Him-ena)
Interests include eating, preening, stretching, being held so that it feels like they're still in the egg, and cutin' around.
In the nomenclature of high school stoners, Ximena's the pothead and Winona the speedfreak. Ximena just wants to eat, sleep and chill and Winona keeps her up all night, peeping about frantically, working on her chick-size meth lab.
In a couple months, they'll join lonely Camilla in the coop. For now she's listening to Amy Winehouse, "Wake Up Alone":
If I was my heart
I'd rather be restless
Second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm
Breathless
Cause this ache in my chest
As my day is done now
The dark covers me and I can't run now
Sunrise, sunset.

My head just exploded with excitement!
A victory for cuteness everywhere!
A major defensive blow in the War on Cuteness.
They're beautiful!
Thanks, T-bird! You'll have to come meet the flock some time :)
