The next group

Every year I long to add more chickens...there is something about watching the chickens that just brings me such joy. Every time I make time to just enjoy "their" company they come flock to me. Such a great morale booster! hehe

This year I'm not sure what happened to actually allow me to get more chickens. I think I researched so many breeds...I had to have a dark brown egg layer, the bearded varieties, and of course all the exotic ones. While I was looking/ordering/waiting for my special batch to come in the mail around the end of Feb. I was getting ancy (is that how you spell it?) I was calling the feed and farm stores here asking when they would get baby chicks in. I wanted to have my fix right then. A store about 30 minutes away had babies so I went to get some. When I arrived they had just sold the last buff orpington so I had to settle on some black and gold sexlink. All that means is that you can tell if they are boys or girls right away as soon as they hatch because of their coloring. So of course I had to have some so I took 2 golds and one black. Here they are I think about a month or two old testing out the back yard for their first time.
