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.

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