and the chickens rejoice

I have always been amazed at the simple things that bring out my chickens personalities and yesterday was no exception. You see, this last week chicken number five turned 1 and there was great excitement, rejoicing, planning, and with one small chicken, great dissension. It went a little something like this...
Chicken number 1 flutterd about wanting to help in just about any way she could, holding CN5, playing with CN5, even assisting CN2 in a little creative "snap circit" building to play "happy birthday". (Thank you Aunt Heidi.)
Chicken number 2 was bouncing off the walls with excitement and asked at least a bagillion times if CN5 was going to get his own cake to "eat really messily.".
Chicken number 3 was his happy little self, just pleased to be involved and willing to do whatever task was presented him.
Chicken number 4 was less than thrilled that the day was about CN5 and not about her. She even went so far as to try to eat her cake with her hands like CN5 was allowed to do.
All in all it was a good day and we had a little blue smurf after the cake eating and after a quick little bath we had a blue tub. Note to self....don't use blue frosting on a one year old's cake...ever...again.
