New to chick/ens!!

[Reilyjarm]

Hi all! I just got my flock of 5 (one sadly didn’t make the journey) at around 1:00 central time! I’m so happy to have these little joys! And interestingly enough, I’ve found out they are all DIFFERENT. I have 2 barred Plymouth Rock and 3 buff orpingtons. The Buffs are chill. The barred rock are not. Well one of the barred imparticualrly is a fiesty one. She is BRAVE always trying to get out of her very suave environment and PEEPS AND PEEEPS AND PEEEPS. LOUDLY. Love her though. Visit thelifeofreily.com to see how the life of Reily, raising chicks go!
