New Chicks on the Block

New Chicks on the block!

I couldn't resist these Buff Orpington chicks at the ranch supply store!

These four will put our flock up to 12 hens (when these little guys grow up) and 1 rooster.

Here is what I learned about these chicks so far:  They grow up to be big, friendly dual-purpose birds.  They were developed in the UK.  They are cold-hardy with fluffy plumage.  And they lay brown eggs.

So far they seem calm and curious, sweet as can be!
