Hello from VA

[AleciaJones]

Congrats on your new flock! What breeds do you have?

IF I'm remembering correctly it's an Australorp, Ameraucana, and Orpington. I specifically asked for various breeds because I've read they all have their own personality traits and being new it would give me an idea of what 'fits' our family best.

I think americauna is a week older than the other two. Just seems a tad bigger and she seems to be the leader already.

That's a fantastic idea. I thought about it but was nervous about putting anything sharp that close to their vents.

If you have some kid's scissors (the ones with the rounded tips), that would work.
