New Addition

Remember all those books I was reading?
Well, some of them had to do with raising...

(This is the box I brought them home in.)

Man, these babies are just too cute!

We bought two Barred Rock Hens (that will look like this when older)...

And two Production Red Hens (which is a cross between Rhode Island Reds and New Hampshire Reds)...

These were the only two breeds the feed store had, which is totally fine.  Daughter wanted red ones and Son wanted this kind anyway.  So it worked out great.
People who have owned or currently own chickens always tell me how addicting they are.  We have only had our for five days and I want more!!

 The day we brought them home (I bought them in the next city...1+ hours away) they would just right asleep when we held them.  The chicks are pretty vocal, especially on the drive home.  At one point they went silent.  I had to check to make sure they didn't die.  They just went to sleep.  When one sleeps, they all sleep.
