The New Girls in Town

Saturday I was driving past IFA (Intermountain Farmers Association) it is where I get all my chicken supplies and feed, and realized that it is practically spring, and they probably have their new chicks in. Since I have their number programed into my cell phone, I gave them a ring. I was in luck, they had baby chicks. Surprise of all surprises, I actually called Michael first and asked him if it would be OK to pick up a couple, usually I just do it, and suffer the consequences afterwards. So here is what we got....

Ariel, named by Maya, she is a Rhode Island Red. She is a good egg producer, she should average 5 good sized brown eggs per week.

Amy, named by Reece, is an Americana. She isn't as good of an egg layer, she will average 3 eggs per week, but the eggs will be either blue or green, cool huh!

Then we have Power Ranger, named by Mason. She is also a Rhode Island Red.

Ah, cute chickie buns.

Ooops. We are still potty training.

To all of my neighbors concerned by this post.... we will be retiring either 2 or 3 of our old chickens. And now that we know how to properly clip wings, we shouldn't have any escapees.
