They are so CUTE!!!! The only thing I have to say I hate with baby chicks is one day they have like no feathers and you go to look at them the next day and BAM feathers everywhere.

Buffy was siting on 13 eggs, I took 8 eggs so she has 5- idk if any of them are even fertile. She is sitting on the five now. We are going to order the chicks in a couple of months. I am back on the schedule with the chicks to play with them every day.

That's good to hear. Hopefully Buffy will hatch some chickies for you. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Well, I'm back home after the vacation, and the chicks have grown a bit lol. I will post a pic tomorrow of them. I just cleaned their brooder and am tired. I think I've decided to wait a couple months before getting any more chicks, I need to spend quality time with the chicks I have

. Some sad news though, we found our guinea pig, tennison, dead. We are very sad and don't know what happened, we might get an autopsy. We adopted him less than a month ago, the people said they cured him of a respiratory infection and that he was a little older now.

the last pics I got of him was him with the baby chicks a couple days ago and I posted that on here. I will get a Cochin, orphington, and possibly a Australorp. Thanks and I'll post pic of chicks in the morning

So sorry to hear of your loss!

Brought mr.roo in tonight for a bit

I took a pic of him earlier today also, and it's funny because he's still growing and I can see the growth. For some reason it's not letting me put the pic from earlier, I'll just make a new comment with the pic and that should work

Backyardflock he is gorgeous. What kind is he? You guys are making me want a roo more and more.

Beautiful Roo!

thanks! he is pretty handsome, I love his different oranges/reds in his feathering. His comb is lumpy and messed up, but that just makes him cuter IMO.

Backyardflock he is gorgeous.  What kind is he?  You guys are making me want a roo more and more. 

he is actually a mutt, probably a mix between the buff orphington and our old Easter egger. Mr. Roo is friendly, his father was EXTREMELY mean, he attacked and broke skin. He is gone now, but his son is awesome! We hatched mr.roo from an egg along with his two sisters.
