Here's my little rooster. He was a little sleepy/groggy when he got home, but now he's happy and running around with his ladies.



It took a little while, but they finally figured out how to use the waterer, instead of the nipples/drippers at the feedstore.









They absolutely LOVE the heat lamp. I've never seen 2 day old chicks sunbathe.

It was just a few chicks enjoying the warmth,


Then more babies joined in,



Then the group became quite large!

They are so cute.

I picked up four more birds yesterday. 2 copper Marans chicks, and 2 Welsummer hens.

Both from extremely good lines.

I'm very happy.

This post is REALLY PIC HEAVY, so I hope you enjoy it!

One of my Wellies. They are so sweet.





Here are my two Marans. I'm thinking the chick on the left is a roo, and if it is, I'm excited! They are both very outgoing and friendly, and since they are a week older than my other chicks, they teach them how to dustbathe and scratch around.



Here is Big Betty, the Delaware pullet. She is sooo much bigger than the other chicks, hence the name Big Betty.


The two pictures below are of Ginger, the New Hampshire Red. She has the prettiest blue eyes.




This is Dorthy, the Dominique. She has amazing gray eyes.


This is Glinda, the black Australorp. She's so tiny!


And this is Glinda's sister, Elphaba. She is an Australorp as well, but she is much bigger than her tiny sister.


Here is a group picture of Dorthy, Glinda and Elphaba.


Here is the baby, Hercules, the Brahma.

He is such a sweet little thing, always sleeping.


And here is Alice, the Brahma, named after the youngest girl in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (if you know this movie, I'll give you a cookie!).


Hercules and Alice.


Little Buttercup, the gold sexlink. She has the prettiest creamy gold coloring!


Here is Mulan the black sexlink. Notice her 'chopstick' toes!


Both little sleepyheads.


Here are the Production reds. (left to right): Ruby, Penny and Scarlet. Unfortunately, they are veeery squirmy, so I wasn't able to get individual pictures.


Little Cinnamon, the EE. She is the most curious little chick! Always investigating what I am doing, and 'helping' all she can.


Cute little NutMeg, or Meg for short. She too is an EE, although she is not quite as social as her sister, Cinnamon.


Here is Clove, a brown Leghorn. She is an escape artist! She always finds the smallest holes and squeezes through them!


Sweet little Peggy. She is so tiny, with lovely 'pastel' coloring on her head and wings.


(Left to right): Clove, Meg, Cinnamon and Peggy.

Today the little chicks got the experience grass and bugs for the first time! They dashed through the jungle of the grasses and gobbled up bugs.

Such a cute thing to watch!
