Chickens: New babies Feb 2014

It has been a year since I brought home my first 3 chicks. One passed away (white leghorn-Lucy) and the other 2 ( Barred Rock and Rhode Island Red) have been actively laying eggs for 8 months now. They are happy and healthy and there is plenty of room in the coop so yesterday I picked up 2 more sweet baby chicks to add to our flock. An Ameraucana (hatched 1-30-14) and a Buff Orpington( hatched about a week earlier) So cute. Can't wait to see if the Ameraucana  lays blue eggs. We will see in about 4-6 months! Will keep them separated from the older hens for a while.  For now  keeping them warm and healthy and watching them grow.
