New Chicks Have Arrived!!

9:37 PM, Wednesday, May 21, 2008 .. Posted in Chickens .. 2 comments .. Link

Our first ever chicks are here!  I could hardly wait to pick them up from the feed store today, I was so excited :o)

We have three now - one each of Aracauna, Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock.  In two weeks we will add two Buff Orphingtons.  Here is our brooder setup inside on my desk in our hobby room where I can shut the door so the cat doesn't get curious...

They are so fun to watch.  My friend and her kids came over to see them.  The kids were full of questions and really wanted to hold one.  I let them pet one but told them they will have to wait to hold one since they are just new babies, so maybe next time.  The chicks already have such personality.  When they get tired, they just stop whatever they were doing and sit down (or stay standing) and shut their eyes.  One of them fell asleep in the food dish - the kids got a kick out of that!  The temperature seems fine for them, they are quite active all around the cage.  Well, time for bed - hope I can sleep  :o)
