Update: chicks, plumeria, and a sale

   I told you I'd tell you more about Amy and her four babies today and show you more pictures. It's been seven days and the chicks have started to get their wing feathers. We haven't named them yet.
  Amy is very over protective of her babies and a bit feather-brained. She almost killed one of the little black and yellow/white chicks I think she smashed it with the nest we gave her. I didn't see what happed; I just noticed Amy was looking agitated and there was a lot of noise coming out of the pen. And found the youngest black chick pined between the back wall and the nest looking dazed. I picked up the chick so it would get stumped and after a few minutes it perked up. AKA, started being able to hold it's head up. Periodically, the chick would peep and Amy would try to attack me, again. As I had been the one to hurt it. She pecked me pretty good as I reached in to grab the chick. And that's why she no long has a nest.
For some reason chickens hate cameras.

  We ended up putting her in the broody pen and Mohawk and her babies in the cages in one of the barn's lean-tos. Mohawk started acting anxious and attacking her kids (which was weird because she was almost more protective of them then before, like "Only I may kill my children.") We let her back out with the other girls. She seems happier, now. We left her babies are in the cages, because we don't know if they're boys or girls. I think Little Bit's a boy. But Opossum and Handful look like girls. Fingers crossed.

  Mom made a lei out of flowers from the Plumeria. It smells wonderful.

  Bats Bizarre is taking part in Etsy's Christmas In July sale. Use coupon code CHRISTMASINJULY for 15% off your entire purchase from 7/14/13-7/25/13. Shipping cost is not included in discount. After this sale I'm probably going to listen to my mom's advice raise the prices on my knitted merchandise. I'm not sure how much yet, but I know I would like to make more than about $1.80 an hour. The knitted snakes won't go up more than two dollars or so; they're almost priced right.
