Our new Chicks

Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 10:26 in In the Barnyard

We finally got some chicks!!  That means my husband HAS to get a coop built.   We're going to make a chicken tractor (post a link to pictures of yours in the comments section if you would, we need some good ideas).  We got 4 bantams and 3 guineas.  Don't know the sexes of them though.  We got them at Atwood's.  One of the bantams is black and has feathers on it's legs, so it might be a silkie.  They're just so cute.  Here is a picture of them the night we got home with them:

This is my son holding his favorites:

Brandon & Chicks

My son has already named them all.  The guineas are James, John & Matt.  The chicks are Licorice, Brownie, Cracker & Bubba.

Country Blessings,
