I had called the feed store earlier this week to find out if they had any, and they were getting some on Friday. So on Valentine's Day we headed across town with the girls to pick a few up. The girls love going to the Country Feed Store to see their little mini farm, especially the emu.
This is the first time we've purchased chicks so young. Chicks ordered from hatcheries are hatched and usually shipped the same day, since chicks can live on its last bits of yolk for up to 3 days. So the little girls we got were probably only a few days old.
The 2 blondes are Buff Orpingtons and the 2 black ones are Black Australorps. Both breeds are known for excellent production and large brown eggs...those are usually the types you find at a local feed store.
Sofie just loves them!
