The Chicks are Here!

My adorable, chirping, feathered friends arrived from New Mexico yesterday! I have anticipated this day all winter! If you’re wondering what kind of chickens I opted to get, I chose the Giant Cochin- they have feathered feet! I purchased several different varieties, though I’m not sure yet, which ones the hatchery sent me. There are black, barred, buff, white, partridge, and blue colors. I think there’s at least one barred one in there- and I’m hoping that it’s a hen (Yours truly has no idea how to sex a chicken- dad can you help?)! The barred ones are really pretty. Ok. So they’re all gonna be pretty! Anyway, I’m really excited. I’ll keep you posted on thier progress. In the meantime have some pictures of them!
