Chicks are here!

We got our baby chicks yesterday!  For the last 8 years we have kept chickens for eggs.  If you have never had farm fresh eggs you need to try them.  You will never want to go back to pale, tasteless commercial eggs again.   Other years we have hatched our own chicks but this year we bought a batch at the local farm store.  We got Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks and Araucanas.  We are going to try to raise some meat birds later this year too.

  1. The chicks look so cute. It is fun to raise chickens. I am hoping next year to be able to do the same:) It looks like Clara was enjoying them but Elayna didn't look to sure. I can't wait to see them!
