It was the post office telling me our chicks arrived!!!!
We got the kiddies off to school and stopped and picked up our new birds.
The trouble is...uhm... I can't tell them apart.
You see we ordered 16 broilers (for eating) who are pale yellow as chicks. We also ordered a few White Rocks (for laying purposes) who are also pale yellow.
Uhmm, no bueno.
I hope it's very apparent as they grow who the broilers are. They're all males, so in theory they should be substantially larger, but only time will tell!
In the meantime, I am enjoying these little guys. There's nothing better that 2 day old chicks and their little peeping noises. :)

New chicks are the sweetest little things...
ReplyDeleteMy phone call should come early this Friday morning! Looking forward to it! Your chicks are adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you ordered a Cornish Cross broiler? It's a cute sight though. 27 layers and 2 roosters just arrived at our little "farm" yesterday. Once they move to the outdoors we'll probably place an order for 25 freedom ranger chicks for meat.
