These are our two white chicks. Chickalee is the smaller one, and the other one is called poopy-wings for the time being. They are growing way fast and I am pretty sure poopy-wings is a boy.

In case you were wondering where the name poopy-wings came from, the night we brought them home they were all over each other and this one got pooped on, it was a pain to try to clean up, then a few weeks later it happened again, so that is the name I have given him until someone gives me something better.

We would have more pics, except it keeps snowing....so much for spring.

Sick Silkies

So we have had to battle a cold going around our chicken coop. We got back from St. George to find one of our white ones, Chickalee, was sick, she was sneezing, which is funny to hear, unless they do it a ton because they are sick, and one of her eyes was stuck shut. We quarantined her, and medicated her, and she got better, then Swoop got it. Swoop appears to be having a harder time with it. She has had both eyes shut a few times. Today, however it appears she is getting better, she is eating and drinking more, and her eye was easier to get open today.
Thanks to Chris and Bethany for your help with the sick chicks.
