The flock

I am so excited about my new venture. Chickens! I have been thinking about it for quite a long time and now that David is "on" the project we are on our way. These little chicks are the cutest darn things. I have seven, two Amber Whites, two Araucana (egg shells are green!), two Barred Rock, and one Red Star. I am hoping that they are all hens because the goal is eggs -- but the Ranch store that I purchased them at "does not guarantee" the sex of the bird -- so we'll see. David has been working on the new fence and has the coop plans all worked out. He even ordered tiny windows that look just like the ones we have in the house (Yes - E-bay). I will post some other pictures as these little chicks grow. They are only about a week old now and will be the size of a large grapefruit in about six weeks!
