Here are some pics of our original 16 chicks at 12 days old, plus our newest additions - 2 Welsummer Chicks (seen here at 2 days and 5 days old, and 4 silkies (2 white, 1 splash, 1 black) at 2 days old!! We added these 6 over the weekend. What fun! Everyone gets along and we were pretty nervous about adding the 4 little silkies but they have (so far) been fine with the older, larger birds!

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks for letting me share my pics LOL ... not too many of my friends really care

so I come on here for my fix! Did I mention we set up a camera in the brooder so I can check on them while at work?? Hehehe

talks2turtles - yes sunny and summer are both doing awesome - thanks so much for them!! they have quite the little personalities and never acted like they were smaller/younger than the others. Also, they were totally active the whole 3 hour ride home from picking them up at your house, which was great to see!!

The silkies on the other hand seem to need a lot more attention and we weren't sure if one of the yellow ones (Sasha) was going to make it but she's made it through 2 nights with the older girls so hopefully she'll pull through!! They were from a breeder in CT just over the RI line - skin coloring is off but we don't care - don't plan to show them or anything!
