Chicks!!!!!

For Christmas this year Cicily, Maya and Sophie got chicks! Cicily loves animals and has been a huge fan of her cousins' chickens for a while. We decided a new pet that Cicily would love and that could give us eggs to eat wasn't such a bad idea. So the girls got 5 baby chicks Christmas morning - Brunhilda (Bruni), Freedom, Liberty (Libby), Gingerbread (Ginger), and Peach. Bruni is Cicily and Maya's favorite. She's the brown one featured in all the pictures below. The chick will just sit on Cicily's shoulder while Cicily snuggles her, it's quite surprising behavior from a bird! Now that the chicks live outside in their coop, the first request after Cis wakes up and the last request before she goes to bed (and multiple other times during the day) is to go outside to see the chicks.
Chick on the head used to be a favorite of Cicily's when they were small enough to perch on her head.
