Look what’s in my garage right now.

And, look what’s inside.

070420chicks

Three baby chicks! I blame it all on Chrissy.  Ok, not really, but looking at those cuties oven on her EnviroMom blog got me thinking, and no good can come from that.

Hubby and I had been talking about getting a few chicks to keep Gimpy company and so we would have a few more eggs, I egg a day just isn’t cutting it for a family of four. (yes, Emma, I have your standing order for eggs) Hubby went to the feed store for chicken feed this morning and when he came home he cleaned out the brooder packed us into the car and we drove back to the feed store to get chicks.  So, now we have three little peepers.

Now for the contest:  

What did we name the chicks?

Guess what we named the chicks and win sock yarn!  Here are some clues:

  • we bought three chicks: a Buff Orpingon, a Rhode Island Red, and a Silver Laced Wyandotte

  • there is a theme to all their names: Country Music

  • two are named for singers, one is named for a band

Leave a comment with your guess and the first one to get all three correct will win enough yarn for six pair of socks:
