Ashton’s First Chicks

Ashton: My first chicks arrived in the mail for my chicken emporium, but I think something isn’t right about them. They don’t smell like any other chicken I have eaten before. Do you think it’s because they’re still chicks and not full grown yet?

sniffing the pink chick

I even tried tasting them, and they don’t taste like the chicken I’ve had before. * PTUH * Yuck.

They aren’t even any fun to play with. I expected they would at least run. We can’t even get a good game of chase going on here.

Don’t tell Sage, since she was so thoughtful to send these, but having chicks isn’t exactly what I expected. What do you think I should do with them?


If you missed them, you can catch up on all of Ashton’s chicken capers.

    Maybe they taste funny because they are pink. I would start with yellow ones. It was nice gift though.

    I love that paw picture at the end! Maybe they should make chicken-flavored peeps just for cats!

    Maybe your human could stick feathers in it. Then it’d make a great toy! Our mom says she wouldn’t like cleaning up all that sugar though. We think she’s thinking too practical.

    Hmmm…There might be something amiss with those chicks. Very strange that it didn’t taste like chicken -everything tastes like chicken. Maybe you should regift it to you humans. Humans love presents.

    PINK?!! I thought they were yellow last week. And what’s with the colors? I know Sage sent you multi color chicks and they were all peepin’ and chirpin’. I’ll get Sage to investigate where those chicks disappeared to

    It seems as if they have been repurposed as cleaning tools. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
