As promised more photos of the chicks! They ventured outside for the first time yesterday and are getting quite confident on their feet, they seem to be able to fly from one end of the run to the other in a flash! I've been spending far too much time just watching them tottering around and jumping on their mums back, so very cute! Two of the chicks are black with little tufts of yellow, they are Maran cross Welsummers and the other seven are pure Welsummers. Hopefully not too many of them will be cockerels!
It's raining today so I'm getting on with work and watching them from my workroom window and the study window.
I told a little fib the other day when I wrote I'd come back empty handed from the market, I didn't bring back anything of the feathered variety, but I did manage to spend some pennies in the "Bygone Era" auction. I was amazed at the amount of really interesting bits and bobs that were for sale, I could have spent a small fortune but I didn't! Everything from old glass butter churns to ploughs! Even a rusty old post box! There were a few things that I lost out on but I did manage to get some really nice galvanised buckets and baths for planting up in the garden and some old tattie baskets. I managed to get something in the sewing line too, a really special find at an absolute steal of a price, but I'll save that for another day!
I just have to decide whether I'm going to plant them up with flowers or veg now!

OOOh, chicks! Love your bygone auctions too, wish we had a sale like that here!
How lovely to have baby chickies around the place. We have baby seagull chicks in our chimney! I love their tiny little voices - so cute x
Oh I would have bought all of those things had I been there, and the 4quid sheep of course (yes I'm still going on about the sheep).

Your little chicks are too cute! I would be spending half the day watching them too...
So did you buy the sewing machine then? - can't wait to see it, if that's what you're talking about.
Exceedingly cute little chicks I love the little cheep cheep of chicks! and some fab finds at the market.
Is it wrong to want to squeeze them?

I like your new loot and those chicks are darling. We have brand new peacock chicks here and they look just like baby chicks except for the color:-)
Your chicks are adorable! I'm not surprised that you just want to sit and watch them.

Just look at those babie chicks !!! Ahh, when ever we hatch eggs out in the incubator I' laways amazed and awstruck how those sometimes fried eggs turn in to babie chicks !
Oh they are so sweet, I would love to keep a few chickens, may be one day....
Hi all,
Can't believe I haven't posted for almost a week! Busy, busy, will tell all later on today, hopefully. The chicks are 10 days old now and growing rapidly, but still so cute!
Been busy in the garden so will show photos later.
Will catch up with you all soon, promise.

Aww the chicks are soo cute! I really love those old wire baskets too. Look forward to seeing what you're going to do with them.
What little beauties - if we didn't think the neighbours would object I'd have a cockerel in a heartbeat!
Love what you found at the market, I have a lovely little folding egg basket, I think it's French, that I found in a charity shop a while ago - back when I dreamt of having chickens - and now we have them, and the eggs too!
Thanks for stopping by to say hi!!
What little cuties these are. Absolutely gorgeous!!
