Round two!

[Raubkatze]

I've been really enjoying keeping my other thread up to date with the growth of my first round of chicks, so I thought I would do the same for this second round!

Two Australorps and two Speckled Sussex have joined the family. I love my three older Australorp girlies, and I heard really good things about Speckled Sussex in terms of wanting to be cuddly lap chickens.

Couple days old:

Good luck with your new addition to the flock!

Our Australorps had great personalities and were very friendly. I'd also been interested in Speckled Sussex for the same reason as you! Super cute babies, and keep us updated on how everyone integrates.

One week old! This bunch are much more flighty than the first round. My theory is that because they are being raised in the summer kitchen instead of the house they aren't hearing me and my husband non stop all day, every day.

I'm hoping once they integrate with the rest of the flock their tameness will rub off.
