Hunger Strike Over!!

I've got to admit, I caved.  I got tired of waiting for my food, so I ate some of the food for the other chickens.  However, even when royalty caves, royalty still gets her way.

 As you can see, daddy did end up giving into my demands and got me some food I like.  He was looking for grower, but the two feed stores he went to they had starter and breeder.  They had turkey grower for some reason, but no chick grower.  So he ended up getting me starter.  It is medicated, which daddy isn't crazy about, but it was all they had.  Hopefully daddy will find some grower today.  As you can see, I am satisfied with the starter, and now have a good size crop.

 I've been more comfortable here, and have been growing closer to mommy and daddy, so I haven't been missing my siblings as much.  Because I am becoming very happy here, yesterday when I went outside, I didn't make a mad dash for the fence.  I cautiously went outside paying close attention to what is around me.  The steps were too big, so I took the ramp.

Here I am investigatingsome of the local greenery, discovering what is tasty.

 For those of you with an unnatural interest in chick butts, here's a shot of mine.  You could see I'm living up to my "Poopy Butt" name from that stupid diaper.

Here I discovered a excellent dust bathing spot, and I got a good bath to wash off all my dirt.

Then Benji came along to check out what I am doing.  He is mean to me, so I had to run.  I would like to get back out there today, but it is supposed to be rainy today.  I don't know what rainy is, but daddy says it takes all the joy out of dust baths.


My daddy set up a Facebook page so people have more ways to keep up with my antics.  You could find me here: Daphne Raeleen Tschida  If the link doesn't work, just search for my full name, and you should find it with little trouble.  Look forward to seeing you there.

P.S.  I know some of you are curious, and I keep forgetting to mention it, but I was Spaghetti at my old house.
