New Chicks are Here

We got our order of spring chicks in yesterday. We ordered from McMurray Hatchery again. This time we got 10 Speckled Sussex Females and 2 Males, 10 Barred Rock Females and 2 Males and 5 Red Stars. Of course they included the free exotic chick which ended up being this feather footed Buff Cochin.

Here are the Speckled Sussex

The Barred Rocks

 And the Red Stars.

Unfortunately we did have one that was DOA and we lost one last night but I'm confident that the rest will be fine. We will be selling a few of these just to cover the cost of shipping. The minimum order is 30 and we just don't need that many right now. I guess I better get working on a larger coop.
