So I introduced myself here on Wednesday and on Thursday I ended up with baby chicks! On a whim I called tractor supply to see if they had gotten new a shipment because they had been out and he said the had but the were going fast.

so we have 2 black australorps- Marla Hooch and Black Betty
2 light brahmas- Dixie and Dorothy
2 Ameraucaunas- Esther and Atilla the Hen ( Tilly for short)

They are already starting to develop there own personalities! Hooch is not a ppl person, she is the littlest , I call her tiny but mighty. Dixie and Esther are cuddlers! The seem to like being held and will fall asleep in you hand. The others not so much yet.

I am in love. I couldn't hardly sleep the their first night home. I worried about them being to hot, to cold, about the heat lamp falling, all sorts of things, I woke up at the crack of dawn (WHICH I NEVER DO) to go check on them and they were just chilling!

They seem to be doing great so far and Im excited about this new journey!

Chicks are always so exciting! It's a new addition to the fam so naturally we mamas will be worried about it all! I take my ques from them- watching their behaviors will help guide you and it sounds like you are on the right track! We have wanted Brahma's and haven't gotten them yet- keep us updated on what those chicks look like as they grow! Dixie and Dorothy must be the white ones?
