Chickens that is! We welcomed 4 baby chicks to the family today. We should have fresh, organic eggs in about 6 moths.
They are 8 days old, born on April 12th and their breed is Buff Orpington. We are first time chicken owners so we took the advice of the feed store owners and picked this hearty breed.
They will stay inside under the brooder lamp until they are big enough to stay warm and safe in the coop.
We call them Peep 1, Peep 2, Peep 3 and Peep 4. (insert smiley face here).
This is Kitty Cat Cash McCash keeping his distance from the new creatures.
Cooper would like to get a little closer to the peeps.
Little Miss Lyla Rose thought the chick was wonderful...until it pooped in her hand. She doesn't want to hold them anymore!
