Ordered our first set of chicks, 6 Buff Orpintons and 6 Golden Comets, from the local Mackey's on March 23, 2011.

UPDATE!  The Comets have arrived today, April 15, 2011!!  They are now safely in their new home!

UPDATE: The Buff Orpingtons have arrived today, April 21, 2011!

UPDATE: They're out of the brooder and out in the coop, May 31, 2011!

UPDATE: FREE RANGE and loving it, June 15, 2011!

UPDATE: Woo hoo - our first eggs July 29, 2011!

Phase 1:  This is their first home (after the eggshells they were in, of course )  It's out in our barn in the tack room complete with water, feed and heat lamp.

And here are our first 6 chicks, the Golden Comets!  Meet Halley, Gale, Biela, Helin, Faye and Ikeya - yes, they are all named for astronomers who discovered comets 

Here's our second set of chicks, the Buff Orpingtons - Brenda's naming them after princesses.  They seem to be getting along just fine with their older siblings!

Phase 2:  It was time to move everyone from the tack room to one of the stalls - we didn't want them flying out and not able to get back in!  Plus, it was getting a little crowded in there so now they have room to wander!

Phase 3:  This will be their next home, a pre-constructed coop from the folks at "The Barn Yard".  It's out in our backyard in full view from all the windows in back of our home.  We will be adding a run made of chain link fencing before it's time for the chickens to move in.

Phase 4:  It was Graduation Day on May 31st as the girls were moved from the barn to their new home in the coop!

Phase 5:  Home, home on the range!  Apparently they love wandering around the backyard now.

 Phase 6: Our first eggs!!  And they're only 3 1/2 months old - the chickens, that is not the eggs .
