When we walked to school we took Camo and he is faster than dad. Camo goes nutty when he sees us after a while. When we go on holiday our neighbours look after him.

Baby Chickens

On the first day of school three out of four chickens hatched. They are a pale yellow colour and very soft. Now the feathers are developing on the tail. The wings gave got proper baby feathers in one week. We think two are boys and one is a girl. We are hoping my uncle can take the boy chickens (if there are any) down to Barrytown. The type that she got is a white sussex. You can just see their combs. They are pale orange and spikey. Franky the Mum who only incubated the eggs kept making BIG holes in the ground that the chicks can play in. Every day we give the chickens a cuddle to keep them tame and friendly so we can play with them. When it rains Franky sits on them to keep them warm.
