New babies...

Got a few new additions to the family now. Three replacement chicks, about 5 weeks old when we picked them up. They're all incorporated into the club now with the remaining two big chickens, and no real issues to speak of when getting them acquainted. We got 'em from a friend of a friend, who's now my friend, Shawn, a micro-farmer out in NY state. Got a nice setup with a zillion chickens and a few head of goats. Envious! Anyway, here's a few pics of the new arrivals..



A bird in the hand.. yep. 


They're a mic of different breeds of chicken, so we're not sure exactly what we've got. We'll maybe be able to tell a bit more when they get older.. and if we've maybe even got a rooster in the group? I sorta hope so, and hope not, all at the same time. We'll see...
