Chicks!!

The first "flock" of chicks have arrived-on Monday actually. I'm a little late on getting this posted since now it is Friday, sorry, but I've been busy, as usual-its that time of year(which seems to last all year for me but I'm not complaining-its self induced, usually).
Anyhow, we got 27 chicks on Monday. 26 of thees birds are the Jumbo Cornish Rocks and they will all be butured in 8wks-they grow that fast. The 27th little chick is an extra that the company will send you as a gift, I guess; actually its probably an extra-some sort of "exotic" breed. I think that its a Lakenvelder(whatever that is)-I'll know more as it continues to get its feathers.

Here are the cornish rocks in the new coup-gettin' all settled in.

Getting a much needed drink after a long flight.

Chicks are so cute!!

Showin' them off.

There's the odd ball hiding.

Definitely stands out-this one we are not eating, unless its a mean rooster, so I let the girls go ahead and name it.......

"Sparkles" if its a girls and "Spark" if its a boy.

They wanted to name the other too but I explained to them that we down name our food plus they wouldn't be able to tell them apart-they're all going to be white.

The next bunch of chicks will be here June 15th and they are going to be the layers. We ordered a very wide variety of chicks for this bunch; we should be getting a wide variety of colored eggs from them-should be fun. Feel free to come and see them!!!!
