My Pet Chickens and their journey...

Micro-Pipette

In case you are wondering that this blog is abut the lab instrument called the micropipette, well, it's not. Micro and Pipette are my two pet chickens!
I live in a city, and not in the suburbs or anything, so having pet chickens is [retty much a weird thing, but well, Mike and Pip were meant to be with us.

My sister was working with chicken embryos in her lab and the incubator had lots of eggs out of which these 2 eggs were unused and one day, just before her vacations were to start, they hatched (at the same time!). So my sister got them home...otherwise they'd die.

So they were born on 17th October, 2012 and are almost 8 months old now. Oh, and Micro is a girl and pipette is a guy. Destiny works in mysterious ways...

here's a picture of them on day 1-

They are the cutest things ever! I always wanted baby chickens, because they are like little yellow fuzz balls, but i never imagined that I'd actually have them! 

Do you have pet chickens? Let me know! I have a Ph.D in broiler chickens (if there is such a thing). If you have questions about ur chickens, like I did, I can definitely help you.
