pacificpikachuPen-Pen is growing up so fast! He's already about five times the size he was when he hatched! He's been moved into a larger brooder so he has more room, while the eighteen chicks have moved in with The Salula, Minky, and their three adopted children (Poppy, Cocoa, and Eden) so they have more room as well. Pen-Pen came with me to school on Wednesday and got to be my drawing subject, which was rather fun. He also got to follow me to the chicken coop and back, which was awesome. He is SO tame, it's wonderful! Love him. He follows at my heels wherever I go.
It turns out both my serama chicks are cockerels. :( Kinda disappointed, I was thinking one was a hen. The one that I thought was a hen is TINY, though--might be A-sized! I may see if the breeders I got Prince, Charming, and Splash from would be interested in the two cockerels, and I may bring them to the Chickenstock on June 5th if not along with whatever of the eighteen chicks I decide not to keep. If the serama boys' dad can put up with them, they can stay, but I have a feeling once they're mature he's not going to be so fatherly towards them. Plus, I don't want inbreeding. Ugh, I'm a bit attached, though. I'll have to think about it. I really wish it was possible to just keep a bunch of roosters without issues, but unfortunately that's not the case.
I'm too tired to write much more, I should just go to bed instead of rambling on other subjects I guess. I'll have to write about anything else tomorrow (er, today, technically) or Sunday.
