Puii mei = my chicks or my babies


Puii [pooh-eeee] (the chicks)

Not an obsession, but these are my first chicks/pets.



I didn't know how chicks looked alseep so I took a picture. One dude has his beak in the corner. His? Her? I dunno.

Oh, so Dude (friend from home named Amanda) has dared to name like 4 chicks. I think they were...Blacky? Tacky? Macky? and something _ _cky.
But I am willing to let her name 1 chick and I'll tie a green thread or something, maybe a bandanna around it's head, so we know that one is her sponsored pet. I wanna see that $1 a month you promised dude so I can afford clothes and food for your chick and I won't eat it. You want a male too right? And yes, I think they will grow up to be black chickens.

So, since I don't know how to let you pick one (they're all babies still = blobs of black puff), name qualities in your chick and as they develop their own personalities, I'll match you two up (like in a reality love sitcom show): hoppy, sleepy, sneezy, really fluffy, small feet, etc....and I really have no idea how to know if it's a boy or girl. Hum...

*googling*

How can one tell if a chicken is male or female?

[Edit]
You lift it up by the neck and if it's feet hang it's a boy but if it goes to the body it's a girl but be very careful with it's little neck!!! :)

Additional....

It depends how old the chicks are. By 4-5weeks, males will be large, aggressive and have tall, bright crests. Females are shyer, with not as bright crests.
By 10weeks the roosters will be obvious.

I like the pic of the one that is looking at you. You should name him Hollywood since he seems to like the limelight.

So...are you saying you want to "adopt-a-chick" too?

If you adopt him or her, and when I mean adopt I mean name and then sponsor their life.

I'll probably not want to snap their neck, stick them in hot water, pluck them, and chop them up for a BBQ, like they're meant to be.

Is this what you really want Charm?
If it is, I'll have to figure out which one it is again (obviously the photogenic one) and then tag it.

YESSS. I want a boy and I shall name him Jack. Maybe "Jaques" cuz that's more European. And YESSS I want him to have a bandanna cuz that'd be badass!!

Wow, I get to have a personal match with my dream chick? Sweeeet. I want the most badass one, obviously. I shall let you choose for me... I'm sure you'll find the perfect match. :) Then will it write me letters once a month and send me pictures? Cuz that'd be bombass.
