Chirp Chirp, Cheep Cheep!

I love babies. So, I thought it might be fun to have some more. Enter babies, below:

2 barred rocks + 2 buff orpingtons. Aren't they cute? Those itty-bitty balls of fluff are pretty entertaining, too! We're having a good time watching them play in their brooder. I've been doing my research and think we have no idea what we’re getting into we can definitely handle these four chickens. Aili seems to be enjoying them, too- the first time she went and grabbed one I was a little suprised, it was like she'd been raised on a farm or something- that girl can grab a chicken!
I'm pretty excited for these ladies to start laying later this summer! (please help us if we accidentally wind up with four roosters...) We're having a lot of fun with our four new chick babies (and, I kinda want to go back in a few days when the Ameraucanas come in so I can get a fifth and have an easter-egg hen!)

    As kids Cameron got chickens and your kids got chickens.... I feel like I missed out on this experience. :)

    Yeah, I really want the girls to have the whole "urban farming" experience- collecting eggs, picking apples, playing in our little (seasonal) stream- there is something really comforting about growing up with a bit of those simple life pleasures!
