Ooh! Buff Orpingtons are so cute! Especially as chicks... 3 will be a nice number, as you will be able to hold them fairly often... just be prepared... chicken math is real... :)

Yea, the feed store can sometimes be... hectic. I got my chicks also at a local feed store, and sadly they were out of lavender orpingtons (apparently they hadn't got the shipment or something..?) But we got a lot of super sweet chicks who are now 5 weeks old.

wow I can't believe yours are 5 weeks already?!?! I remember when you first posted them, I had placed my order for my chicks a few weeks before that. hahaaa.


and I agree on chicken math. Heck I added to my order before my first chicks even came in. Went from 8 ordered to 10..... But now promised my husband no more THIS year (yes made sure to throw that part in. haaha)

Yes, they're 5 weeks! Moving them out in a week... as long as this Washington weather allows
