Chick Population Increases!



Our 30 layer chicks arrived today in the mail! The postmaster said we should have ordered ducks....since it was raining. They are currently residing in our house, but will soon be moved to the farm with the fry pan chickens. Hopefully there will be no hard feelings between the 2 groups, when they 'find out', some of them are for eating :)

After a little bit of research, we decided to go with Buff Orpingtons. They are supposedly good for eggs, as well as meat. We are excited to have fresh farm eggs down the road & hopefully will have enough to share with others!

You'll love having them. It's so fun going & getting the eggs. Or atleast I think it is. (-:
