Introducing....

...the latest addition to our flock: Six, day-old baby chickens! Technically they're "pullets" because they're all girls and they're all destined (we hope) to be laying hens. After consulting with Neighbor Andy the Chicken Expert, we decided on three Buff Orpingtons and three Barred Rocks. It will be autumn before we get any eggs from these little peepers but we thought it would be fun for all of us to raise them from hatchlings. Stay tuned as the chicken saga (as it will inevitably turn out to be - one little gal is already looking extra-stressed after falling from Gavin's clutches to the floor - my fault since I was more concerned about the camera than the bird) continues.
