We got our three new chicks 2 hours ago. They've been pretty happy, and it is pretty amazing that even at 2 days old you can tell their little personalities emerging. Our Barred Rock Rosie, which we named before we got her was a perfect name. I can tell already I will call her nosey rosie at times. She is walking over her buddies while they are sleeping, and pecking them, and exploring everything. After dipping their noses, she was the first one who went and drank alot, and showed the other chicks again...as they followed her lead. I worry alittle bit about her biting toes, and hope that she will settle down, and relax after a few more hours and not notice them as much...as you can see by the picture they all took a rest shortly after they arrived in their new home. Thank goodness for books like Storeys guide to raising chickens, and the wealth of knowledge on this site,as I've sat here reading about chirps, and feed and pecking...ect...!
