Buff Orpington chicks

Date sort Score sort
I was amazed today when I cleaned the brooder and had to put all 15 of my chicks in a different bin then back to the freshly cleaned brooder and most of them didn't even try to flap! Usually when I am sitting in the brooder with them and try to pick them up they are not happy! Maybe they knew I just wanted them to have fresh bedding, lol. I have to say, my Bufd Orpingtons are definitely the most adventurous of the group - my arms are covered in tiny scratches from them surfing up and down as I hand out treats, lol. I only have 3 and all are feathering out well at 2 weeks old, so I think all three are pullets.

That is soo funny I cleaned my brooder today too. some of them flap when I take them out and some do it when I put them back in the only ones that don't really object to me too much are one of my BA Aphordite which is the one in my pic and one of my BOs Persephone and yes 5 of my chicks are named after Greek Goddesses and God (my baby boy is Hermes)

My BOs are Kara, Brooke, and Cassidy and are named after famous Crossfit athletes and all of my cats have had Roman names (I currently have Marcus Aurelius and Drusilla Placidia), lol

My other 2 Goddesses are Selene and Athena then my 3 that are named after Goddesses are Tiny she was the runt which you wouldn't be able to tell now then I have Backup cuz she use to walk backwards everytime you looked at her and Snow White they are both White Rocks
Aphrodite and Selene are both Black Austrolorps and the other 4 are Buff Orpingtons then I have Snowball my rabbit and Aurora and Smokey our 2 cats
 
The project is going great. I'm working right now but as soon as I get home I have new pictures that if everyone yesterday. An interesting note all the chicks in the organic feed group are at a minimum of 8-10 grams bigger then their same breed counterparts in the name brand feed group.
