I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUT I'M GONNA GIVE IT A TRY.

Soon, the two Orp babies will need a new home, so be thinking about getting both of these cuties!

Oh, dear, I think I need to start packing my bags for the long trip

Needless to say, those babies are adorable​

They are cute, but like always, the BR baby is the star of that brooder. That was the first time they'd seen eggs. Shadow was so pumped when she saw that blue bowl and was clucking like her life depended on it. Little Fern was there in a heartbeat, standing in the bowl, eating like she'd always had eggs. The other two stood in the back and till DH herded them to the front, were missing out on the goodies. Not Fern! She was front and center, like all my BR babies do. I said I can tell who the brains of this group is, LOL.

Sure, Carrie, pack your bags! As a houseguest, you'd get free chicks!!
