We got 4 more chickens today!
More precisely, we got these day old chicks,

| One is hiding, so cute! |
We wanted Brahams again, to replace the roosters we had to re-home. Fingers crossed that there are no boys in this group. Brahams have feathered legs, are docile, and large chickens. We got one Light Brahma and one Buff Brahma.
The other breed we chose are Cochins. They too have feathered legs and feet. They don't lay a lot of eggs, only 2-3 a week. We wanted to add them to our flock because they are docile, easy-going, and pet-like.
We're still working on their names. We'll continue the flower-theme, but wanted to meet the chickies before giving them their names. Stay turned for the naming of chickens 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Since it is colder outside than the last time we got chicks, we are housing them in the basement rather than the screened in porch. Honey-bunny heard the little cheeps and began sluething.
She needs a little more practice; the chicks aren't outside, they are right behind her on the table!
