Newest chicks

[ChickenTenderz]

This is our third year getting new chicks. We originally thought we'd get 5 Rhode Island Reds, then the next spring we decided to get 4 Black Australorp chicks. We lost one of the RIR chicks on the first night but the others grew up to be amazing layers, we recently lost 1 BA to a predator but the remaining 3 are doing great and get along well with the older girls. So here we are getting 3 more RIR chicks...Chicken math, am I right?
These three love their snuggle time, hopefully that doesn't change as they grow up. Our other girls come when called but aren't big on snuggles anymore.

Aww, they're so adorable! Thanks for sharing. RIRs are awesome.

So far these girls love hanging out with the kids each evening before bedtime.

So here we have our girls starting to get some feathers. My son thinks they look like awkward teenagers now.

This is actually called the "Awkward Stage," so he's right.
