Just a short post to announce that we now have 6 chicks- 2 black sex links, 2 marans, and 2 brahmas. We decided we wanted to build a coop this weekend, so I went a little crazy and took the kids to the only feed store in our area that still had chicks.
We plan on having a flock of around a dozen, so as other breeds we like come in for fall flocks, we plan on getting more. I'm looking forward to snagging some buff orpintons and wyandottes.
Not much more to tell for now, we've only had them a couple hours. I guess it's going to be harder than I thought though, because my normally gentle daughter likes to grab them by the neck and make them flap. Good thing they won't stay small for long!
