I got new chickens!

I bought 15 new chickens yesterday! Most are golden sexlinks with some EE mixes. I already had 3 hens that are laying along with 11 three month olds. I got back after dark with the new ones and put them in the coop.

This morning there was very little argueing. I let them out to range with the others. I've read you should keep them up for a few days but I hoped they would follow the lead of the others. At the old place, they didn't have proper laying boxes but had no problem using mine. I was very happy about that!

I did notice there was some more room on the roosts so I think I'm going to try to find some laying EEs. I really like those colored eggs!

It is always fun to get new birds.

Clearly you do not understand the 'rules' of this forum....you can't just post about new chickens and not give any pix....thats just WRONG!

I want to get some pictures but they are staying in or right in front of the coop. I'm waiting for them to come out so I can get some good pictures.

I'll have some soon though.
