This is Coconut.

This is what Coconut looks like next to Raven, one of our older chicks! (Poor Raven is in the awkward teenager stage - not a cute chickie anymore!)

And pictured below are our little cannibals!

Kaylee and I went to the local farm store today to price bottles (for the other new additions pictured in the post below) and ended up leaving the store with Coconut that Kaylee bought with her own money!

Well, things did not work out so well, because our first batch of chicks is 2 weeks older than Coconut and hence began to try and peck her to death everytime we placed her in the box with them. So, we built her an "apartment" that could still hang under our only heat lamp. . . 

We knew that wouldn't last when Latifa (self appointed queen of the roost) flew right up onto the ledge of the box and glared down at poor Coconut. . . So, we went back to the store and bought 5 more to keep Coconut company in her new, new home . . .

We ended up with 2 Australorps (Coconut pictured on top, is one), 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks (bottom chick  in picture above) and 2 California Whites (one pictured below). Kaylee actually bought one of the whites and named it Dot. 

Now we have 21 baby chicks and 3 happy kids!
