Six Chicks at Malory Towers

I have ordered my chicks! They will arrive the week of March 8.

I'm getting an Ameraucana (blue eggs), an Easter Egger (blue-green eggs), a Maran (dark brown eggs), a Buff Orpington (light brown eggs), an Olive Egger (green eggs), and either an Austra White (white eggs) or a Wyandotte (cream to brown eggs), depending on which is available.

I will name them after Malory Towers girls, from Enid Blyton's girls' boarding school series. Did you know there's a delightful, mostly faithful TV version with a much more diverse cast? You can watch it here or on BBC. It was very inspirational.

I had no idea this existed until I saw this lovely vid of it!

You can now look forward to the exploits of my feathered Darrell, Mary-Lou, and other chicks.

Have you gotten that Malory Towers from Brigham Young University to work? Just curious if it works for other people, because I'm afraid it might not like my computer. Lots of sites don't. My Eor set up this Nuk for me with FreeBSD as an operating system.

So long as it worked for someone else, I think I can assume it's my FreeBSD. Thanks. :)
