Happy Baby Chick Day!

Happy Baby Chick Day!

We got the call from the post office at 5am this morning letting us know that our hatchery order had arrived.  We had prepped the brooder box over the past two weekends and it was all ready to go so we jumped out of bed and headed to the post office to pick them up.  We came home and got them settled before dashing off to work, but Bengt had time to set up the webcam again.  So for the next couple months we have Baby Chick Cam!

Baby Chick Cam!

We have 27 total: 14 Cornish-X (meat birds), 6 Arucanas, 3 Barred Plymouth Rocks, 3 Black Sex-links, and 1 “Free Rare Bird”.  Since the Arucanas can vary quite a bit in coloring we actually aren’t sure which one is our “free rare bird” just yet, but it will be fun guessing!
