16 chicks and counting


At noon today we received a phone call from the post office letting us know that our baby chicks had arrived. Off Marc went to collect them and bring them home.


We ordered 5 each of speckled Sussex, barred rock, and cuckoo maran. We received all of those plus one extra barred rock. Hopefully we have all hens but we'll only know for sure once they grow up a bit.

They are now happily settled into their brooder in our garage with food, water and a heat lamp. I'm really looking forward to watching them grow up and seeing how they interact with the four non blondes when they all move into the new chicken coop.
