Baby Chicks




We got 12 chicks last Thursday. 2 roosters and 10 hens. There are 6 yellow chicks and 6 brown/black speckled chicks. The breeds are

Buff Orpington and Silver Laced Wyondotte. There was a mix up though and we might have different breed mixed into that. Will be interesting to see how the chicks grow. So far in 5 days they already have feathers on their wings. We bought a 45 gallon container at WalMart then got a waterer as you can see in the picture along with a feeder. They are growing well. We are keeping them in our dining room.
