We aren't having a party for Isaac until tomorrow, so we tried to do somethings to make his actual birthday special. In the morning, I made him his favorite pancakes and put candles in them so we could sing happy birthday.
Then we drove to Oregon City to meet daddy for lunch. From there we drove to Mulino to pick up Isaac's Birthday presents....3 2 day old chicks!!! He knew we were getting them and was so excited. I had originally decided that one of them would be Rhode Island Red, but when we got there, Isaac insisted on getting the white one (a leghorn) So we ended up getting a Buff Orpington, a Austerlop, and a Leghorn.
They will live in our basement for the next few months until the weather warms up a bit and they get all their feathers, then we will move them out into their coop in the backyard. Hopefully by July we will be getting some fresh eggs.
Isaac loves the chicks, and wants to go down and see them first thing in the morning, and all day long. He is so gentle holding them and of course wants to hold the white one the most, that is definetly his favorite. He named the white one "peacock" and the brown one "Hashbrown" and the black one is "Omelet". :-)
Bogey seems to be oblivious to them, they chirp away and we hold them, and Bogey just lays on the ground looking bored. I am sure that when they start running around, she may try and go after them, but one peck from them and she will have her tail between her legs running the other way. :-)

That is so cool that you have baby chicks! They look so soft and cute. :0)
How fun! We've thought about getting some chicks, but so far we haven't been brave enough! Maybe next year....
