The chicks are here


They arrived yesterday morning. 27 chicks! Silas made up a little countdown "calendar" when we placed our order over a month ago. It was so cute to watch him cross off each day. Levi got white Silkies, Silas got New Hampshire Reds, Ukiah got Aracaunas, I got Black Australorps and Drew got Dominiques. We also got a surprise exotic chick. :) A few have already been on an excursion outside to eat grass clippings and bugs - courtesy of the boys.

Could you post a pic of one chick from each variety? The only ones I think I have figured out are the black ones.

I can't wait to get some chicks! How many do you have now?

Hi mrssmif. We have 25 chicks now. One died during shipping and one died the day after it arrived. The rest are healthy and really growing. They have been a wonderful addition to our little farm.
