Check Out Our Chicks

Two weeks ago we got 3 Barred Rock chicks. My DH use to have a one legged Barred Rock hen named Charlie. He use to carry it around all the time. It was his special hen so we decided to get a few Barred Rocks for sentimental reasons. Meet Charlie, Joe, and Henny. (Some of the hens have ended up with boy names! I figure there just nicknames for Charlotte and Josephine! :)


Callie has found them absolutely fascinating. She will stand there looking through the hole staring at them or with her head over the top of the box. She doesn't seem to want to hurt them but can't stand to let any peeping go unattended.

On Friday we got 6 more chicks. This time they are Black Sex Links. The Barred Rock seem to get along just fine. See they're all sleeping. Isn't it amazing how much the Barred Rocks have grown in just two weeks!
