hi I’m adding to my flock of 4 this June with 7 new babies the week of the 15th from MyPetChicken.
Also my dad is building them a new coop since ours is too small and falling apart.

I come with a sad report. I lost one of my birds today, I believe it was an EE. The other 27 seem to be doing great!

Buckeye Chick

Black Australorp Chick

All 5 Chicks (left to right: Golden Laced Wyandotte, Black Australorp, Dominique, White Rock, and Buckeye)

I thought I'd post a few pictures of my girls. I'm not sure how everyone manages to get such great pictures--mine won't stop squirming so most of my pictures are blurry! But I finally got some good ones today.

I can't quite tell who's going to be top of the pecking order yet, though it might be the Dominique. They've sort of divided into two groups. The Buckeye and White Rock hang out together, and then the other three. Is that common, for a group to divide like that?

They're lots of fun to watch. Their favorite activities include perching on top of the heating plate and digging under the paper towels to scratch up wood shavings. They're a status symbol, apparently. All the cool chicks have little piles of wood shavings!

Wow! Just pipped a little bit ago and just popped the top off!
