More About Chickens

I know it seems like all I talk about is chickens, but that really is my life right now. Kids are just going to school or staying home sick. Boring. In the last week, we gave away all but 10 of our chickens, so now I can handle the number! We have all we want and no more extras--yea!! This is how they look now. It amazes me how quickly they grow! They should be moving outside in a week or two, if it ever warms up aound here.

If anyone cares, we have 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Black Australorpes and 4 Silver Laced Wyandottes. Sometime in June or July we should be getting at least 5 eggs a day!!

Peeps

Blogger is giving me a big headache and won't allow me to upload any video of any size right now, so a picture of our chicks is all I have to post. We ordered 10 chicks and they sent us 23. Luckily, we live in a rural town with very many farms where I'm sure they will find homes. We are having so much fun with them all for now!!
