TOP:Logan - is playing pretend with his favorite chick, Orange Juice. They are playing "pirates" and Orange Juice is the trusty parrot sidekick.
Kylee - is being over run by little fuzzy baby chicks... Aaahhhh! She isn't quite sure if she likes them or not... they sure do taste FUNNY!
BOTTOM:
Jolee - is overjoyed that she gets to take the chicks home and raise them! Well until they are big enough to stay at Papa's house with all of the other chickens in the chicken coop - to live out their fulling lives as egg layers or the main ingredient in "chicken" pot pie! YUMMY!!!
Ethan - is SURPRISED as you can see that the Easter Bunny left him some Easter Eggs already hatched! What a special treat! Not everybody is so lucky as to get colored chicks for Easter. How FUN is that?!
Easter Eggs:
This Easter for fun I purchased some "Easter Egg" baby chicks for the kids. They inject the eggs with food coloring about 2 days before they are due to hatch & they come out dyed all different colors. They were so adorable we couldn't say no. The kids named them all.
Jolee named her pink & purple baby chicks Pinkie Pie & Violet.
Logan named his yellow & orange fuzzy chicks Sunny & Orange Juice.
Ethan named his green & blue little chicks Green Marshmallow & Blueberry.
We tried to suggest names for Ethan's green chick such as... Kiwi, Lucky, Shamrock, Lime, & Apple. But all he could think of was how much he LOVES colored marshmallows!
What a cute idea for Easter. That would be a surprise to come out and find that in an Easter basket. How long do they keep their color?
ReplyDeleteThey stay that color until their adult feathers come in over their down - the dye is permanent which is awesome!
