It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Shame on me, I know. After all, consistency is key to maintaining any semblance of an audience. In any case, for those who may care, we have arrived at the time of year when fuzzy baby chicks are tweeting and chirping in every feed store in the northwest.
Needless to say, I’ve picked up some new additions after our losses last year. Five new beautiful babes are here on the homestead and just waiting to be integrated with the flock! For my fellow chicken nerds, I got another speckled Sussex, a white Cochin bantam frizzle, a golden sexlink, a black sexlink, and a buff Orpington. They are quite the assortment to be sure, but they will really diversify the flock.
With the roo gone to a new place, more on that later, I’m still not sure which of my previous flock is now in charge but they’ve been pretty peaceful. Hopefully, the new bunch will be welcomed here in a few weeks with minimal feather pecking. I’ll be sure to report back on that when it happens.
In the meantime, enjoy this video of the new babes clucking around their little temporary home.
