Hope died today

Last Saturday we got some baby chicks. We are hoping to have the boys help take care of them and when the chick mature get some eggs to boot. Each of the boys picked and named a baby chick. It was quite cute to see. They all did pretty well, but I worried about the 2 smallest chick. And rightly so-- Oliver named his chick Yoko, (after Ice Age 3) and Bryant named his chick Hope. Both these 2 little chicks had a short life. We all felt really sad when Yoko died. I think she had gotten wet on the coldest night. Even the heat light didn't save her. Then later that next evening Hope died. She just didn't fend for herself. I feel really sad saying that Hope died. Bryant came up with the name all by himself. Even if Hope is just a little baby chick it seems somewhat profound. Luckily the rest of the chicks, Baby, Sydney, Kimney, and Goliath all seem to be doing well.
