We have 4 new additions to the family...baby chicks!!
This is Hawk. My son named her of course because
she looks like a hawk, duh mommy.
She is a Black Sex Link (hybrid dual purpose) chick. About 3 wks old.
She is a bit skiddish and a bit ornery.
This is Delia or Dellie.
She is a Delaware chick (dual purpose). About 3 wks old.
She's not thrilled to be held but deals with it.
And this cutie is Ducky...she has stripes like a duck
but you can't really tell in this picture.
She is sweet and doesn't mind being held.
She is an Americana (dual purpose)
and will lay blue eggs! She's about 2 wks old.
BTW naming a chick Ducky can be a bit
confusing for a 2 year old. {Grin}
And if I have a favorite this one would be it...
This is Rhodie. She's a Rhode Island Red
(dual purpose) and about 2 wks old.
She doesn't mind being held either and has a tip of red on the
end of her beak which is so cute.
So! This is our new adventure as a family. We are so excited to have our own free range, no antibiotics, no hormones eggs soon. And of course they are so fun to watch which is an extra treat. {Grin}
