these are our long-awaited chicks! they don't have names yet. just rhode island red and california white. the red will lay brown eggs and the white, white eggs. yesterday, we bought the light, light bulb, feed, pine shavings and feeder bottoms. we had some mason jars that screwed right into them. we also had the aquarium. all together we spent about $35. now to build a coop for them! we have been looking online at ideas and there are some really cool chicken coops out there. :)

you can see their coloring better in this photo. mine's the red and george's, the white.
it has to be 85 to 100 degrees for these little guys. |

| little feeder and waterer. |
the law for keeping chickens in the city is that one can have two without a permit, and up to 20 with a permit. 20?? no thanks! we do want to get a couple more this summer though. there is a breed that lays blue-green eggs that are supposed to be delish. we actually bought some green eggs from open harvest yesterday, but have yet to try them.
