Had to run to Tractor Supply today; there were chicks there. Sapphire Olive Eggers and Starlight Green Eggers, Buff Orpington -- all pullets. (Also RIR, Barred Rocks, Cornish X for meat and a Black Sex Link and Black Australorps, EE Straight runs and a new variety, something like Root Beer or something LOL I cannot recall)
I cannot BELIEVE I didn't come home with any.
I am fixing to hatch my own though; got a wine cooler fridge today to store eggs in \o/
I've got Splash Roos; seems to me a flock of Splash Easter Eggers would be mighty pretty!
When Oscar gets grown, he can make a bunch of Olive Eggers as well
Tomorrow, and this is probably something a lot of people would never bother to do, we are taking Little Wing into the vet to do something about her wing;

I don't know what happened to it, but it's been like this since her first week home after TSC. It get's blood, bc it's growing, but she doesn't have use of it. But that doesn't stop her! She's full of energy and verve. I'd like to help her if we can, so on to the vet tomorrow morning.

They are SO dang small, I cannot believe my big girls were ever this small. In the mornings when I open the hen house, these guys run a little bit farther every day to where the big girls go -- my big ladies run out and past the pasture fence. So far, no one has been brave enough to go out past the fence.
But they roam around the hen house and run every day now, and go back to the safety of the hen house every so often throughout the day, oftentimes just basking in the sun that blasts in the front door for half the day.
Will be interesting to see if they ever fully follow the big girls. NONE of the big girls chase or bother the teens anymore, even Pepper. They just act like they're part of the flock!
