We're Famous - New Chicks - More Adorable Rogue Chick Pics

We are the cover story of Connect Savannah which is the alternative weekly paper there! Go us!
Here's the link - http://www.connectsavannah.com/news/article/100800/


100 new chicks arrived today, they are Araucanas and will lay blue and green eggs. We haven't finished the next set of accomodations for our other chicks so their place is not as nice as chick stadium. Sticking with the previous theme of chick arrival pictures -

Rogue Chicks!

Today we were walking past one of the sheds and to our surprise we saw a bunch of tiny chicks running around! One of our hens had set up shop and hatched 13 babies. We have 3 roosters and it looks like they are all represented.
