I am the proud mother of 5 under 2. YAY! The quads share a birthday with my Jaanou Maanou, February 28. I adopted them just yesterday, March 3rd. They are a lot of work, but a blast. They are also really pretty. Did I mention that the quads are choosay? That means baby chickens for those of you non-pakistanis :P They're really pretty because they were colored with something, probably powder, so there are two orange ones, and two yellow green and pink ones. One of them kept trying to eat the other ones last night, so I put him in a separate box(they came in a shoebox.) Turns out, the cannibal one is also the jumpy one, and he just escaped out of the box, and back into the other box. We have them in a cage now though.
Chonou loves them. They were running around the terrace today. Chonou loves to pet them and poke them and try to feed them things, like roti and macaroni noodles.
They make a ton of noise and are always falling asleep. I love to hold them, and one(maybe both?) of the orange ones likes to be held. One of the orange ones has a spot on its beak. I don't know how I'm gonna tell them apart when they get older though. Not like it really matters though, right?
As of now, I'm gonna pretend I don't know the genders of them. Shhhhh! it's a secret ;) Well, its not like I really know anyways. I tried to check, but I'm no chicken sexer. As far as I know, I think they're all hens. I should know better in about 6 weeks, when they hit puberty or whatever. If I don't have any roosters, we might have to buy a live rooster, just because it would be awesome to have my own rooster that says RikaRikaROOOOO!
Ah, kids grow up so fast. Or perhaps I should save that line for when we get the goats? Mwahaha

Well, too bad you can't bring your new pets over here. They might not even live long enough to say good-bye to you and Abdullah when you come back here.
ReplyDeleteCan you say "salen?" Nope. They probably won't make it to see us off :P
