On Monday, MrLivingOurWay informed me that we were going to go purchase some chicks. We loaded the FindingOurWays into the car and we all went to pick out our new chicks. We purchased 6 Buff Orpingtons, 6 Barred Rocks, and 6 Araucanas. We've never had Araucana's before and are looking forward to some blue eggs. In addition, to these we are expecting a total of 79 more chicks that we have on order. We've never had so many so little before. MrLivingOurWay is going to start being more intentional with breeding and this is why we are ordering so many at one time. A "rooster complex" is in the works. Each rooster will have it's own pen and the hens will come visit.
Here are some pictures of the chicks. They are currrently on our back porch in a big tub under the light.
More chicks are scheduled to arrive today. We are busy around here. Thank goodness it's raining so we don't have to worry about watering the garden today.
