More Adventures in Chickens...

So here we go again, we got 28 chicks on March 23. Who knew you could have 28 chicks in that little box! We got a call at 5:45am, I couldn't wake the kids for that early, so we waited a while. They are so cute when they are so tiny. 6 will be going to a friend but the others are ours. We have 2 more roosters, but the rest are hens. Each girl got 2 of their own. Smiley got a white rock and black australorp. Jmama got 2 buff rocks. Jmama says they are sisters. John got a red star and a partridge rock. I got 13 barred rocks. I am so excited! We also have the 2 blk aust roosters because they are supposed to be gentle and laid back. Very unlike the rooster we have right now.
So come July or Aug we will have eggs galore! I am going to sell them. I just feel like it's the right thing to do. I need to help my husband in the finance dept. and the Bible is clear that a woman can be in business. I just think it should not be at the top of the responsibility list, that place is saved for family: God, husband, children, extended family... in that order!






Sorry back to chickens *kicking the soapbox*, Now on to week 2..it is amazing how fast they grow. Got a little tail feather growth, and more wing feathers.... Here are the sister chicks, one of Smiley's and one of Jmama's. More to come...
