It's been a busy few days around here. Yesterday we brought home the final two members of our flock--a Buff Orpington (now named "Thursday") and an Ameraucana (our girl "Friday"). The baby chicks are always very cute but the Ameraucana's markings really make me laugh. She has a wide brown stripe all the way down the center of her head and back, flanked on each side by a thin black stripe and then a thin white stripe. The overall effect, especially when seen from above, is that she looks very much like a chipmunk! I'm not sure I can think of anything much cuter than a chick crossed with a chipmunk.
