Bantam Cochin

First chicks ever at two days old--they'll be two weeks old tomorrow. Never thought anything so small could poop so much. Is it true the average chicken poops 150 lbs a year? Holy chicken crap, Batman--that's a lot of fertilizer.

Ordered 15, three each of Buff Orpingtons, Delaware, Black Australorp, Speckled Sussex, and Barred Rocks. Cackle sent 4 of each; one Sussex didn't make it. Figured I'd start with "beginner" chickens.
