I Just Got Some Babies Yesterday!

[LindaHolle]

Hi Everybody,
I got 6 babies yesterday and I am so excited! I have them under a heat lamp. I tried for about three weeks to find some Baby Buff Orpingtons for sale, but finally gave up. I got these at a hardware store. They are probably mixed breeds. But at least I did get one Buff (at least I think so) out of the sale! Hopefully they will mostly be girls. If more than one turns out to be a boy, will they fight with each other when they get older? Thank-You!

They won't fight a lot, since they're brought up together. They will probably fight a little, but you shouldn't try to break up the fights.

I got 5 chicks yesterday! So exciting! My first store bought chicks. I'm sick with a cold and I'm half tempted to layer my bed with towels and let my chickys lay in bed and watch trash reality tv with me.
