Sunday


March seems to have flown past so quickly~and I've been shamefully absent from the kitchen. So instead, I thought I would share another of our little chicks from the second batch.



She's one of the most dainty and calm-mannered chicks of the entire brood ~ the name Daisy seemed to fit her perfectly.
Coincidentally, my sister recently reminded me that one of our family's pet ducks had the same name! ~ So Daisy it is.


(I just adore the matching "tweed" look on the tips of each of her tiny wings, and her bitty tail!)

She's a Brahma Light chicken, and it's difficult to believe she will look similar to the hen in the photo below in a very few months.




I'm taking photos of the progress of construction of the chicken house and hope to share some of that in an upcoming post.
Have a wonderful week everyone!

  2. Your little chick is so precious, Mari. Chickens are amazing...if you watch closely I'm sure you can actually see them growing.

    Yesterday I saw a mama duck with 14 newly hatched babies. Isn't spring wonderful!

  5. You are making it very difficult for me. I am wanting baby chicks more than ever. As someone mentioned before, I know my HOA would not approve either.

  6. That's one cute little chick! Reminds me of days living on the farm when we would take some inside to keep warm and baby! Have a great rest of March!

  8. Oh my goodness! Daisy is too sweet! She will be a beauty when she reaches adulthood. I love chickens but, unfortunately, I cannot have them where live.

  10. Mari, you are killing me with these pictures of your little chicks!!! The one of Daisy looking at the egg!! ADORABLE.

    My friend loves your blog, and I think she has commented on here before. She just started a blog called "My ugly garden" so if you see that on here or "Christine" that is her!

  15. She's darling...why do they have to grow up? I guess just like puppies and babies, we can't keep them tiny and cute forever:)
