Very adorable!!! Congratulations.

FYI you are going to need a bigger brooder in about 3 days. They grow very fast and what you have them in now is a bit small.

They're so cute!

I am hoping to get a white EE pullet this spring. I am specifically going to be looking for one or two. I get my chicks at local feed stores and so I can look through the brooder and pick out what I want.

I am aware of that. That is not their brooder. That is where I put them when I first got them, so I could monitor them and make sure everyone was eating and drinking okay. After about 30 minutes, I moved them to their brooder which is outside.​

Did you do straight run?

They are beautiful.

And you'll have some good eating birds too.

Yes, the Easter Eggers (26- they sent me an extra of those too) are straight run. The meaties (11) are straight run as well but we'll be eating them, anyway. The 5 Gold sex-links are, of course, pullets.​
