New Chicks in Town

The new chicks have arrived! We ordered some in late winter, but the Buckeye breed weren't available until now. This is an American breed developed by a woman in Ohio. They sound great and demand is high. We also got some buff
Wyandottes as we have had good luck with Wyandottes in the past. Often we have enough hatch here so we don't buy chicks, but periodically it is nice to add some new breed that has qualities that we are looking for - good foraging, good moms, good cold tolerance and so on.


I picked up the peepers at the post office and although the weather is warm, they headed straight for the light to get warmer. Ken took each one and made sure it knew how to get a drink and placed them in their new home. Soon we will move them up to a bigger space! They grow fast.
