I am slowing learning which of our baby chicks are boys and which are girls. I used to be so much better at determining sex of the baby chicks, but now that we have Lavender Orpington in the mix, all of the rules I used to know have gone out the window. I still think I can tell fairly well by behavior though. And based on behavior, I think we have a lot of girls in this batch babies. Time will tell if I’m right.
But I do know a few for sure. One is Ruby’s baby. It’s definitely a girl. And then there’s this one, Silver’s baby. She looks just like her dad; in fact, she’s pretty much identical to Piatigorsky. She’s so beautiful to me, and I have decided to name her Clara because I recently read a biography of Clara Schumann, and I thought her name was so lovely.
So, world, meet Clara! I’m still thinking deeply on names for everyone else. It’s going to take me awhile, I think.
