We have been fussing over our feathered babies for the past week or so and I must say that these chicken mamas are acting like pros! As the girls are getting older they are taking on more responsibility with our chickens. I must say, I am quite impressed with how well they are doing with our tiny new chicks. They have been feeding, watering and butt wiping (because that is a thing with baby chicks.) Don't they look like proud mamas?
The flock this year consists of 25 birds of 5 breeds, however 3 of them will be leaving us when they get bigger to be city chickens at my sister's house. We loved the breeds of chickens from our first flock and they were great layers so we decided they were a necessity, but I couldn't resist throwing in a couple more breeds. This years flock includes: 4
Rhode Island White, 4
Barred Plymouth Rock, 4
Cinnamon queen, 5
Easter Egg, and 5
Single Comb Rhode Island Red. Here are pictures of our chicks at one day old. Grow, chickens, grow!
