Chickens Little

Our new babies came a few weeks ago...50 little chicks! The post office called us at 8:05 in the morning and Todd eagerly ran off to pick them up. People keep asking what kind of chickens we bought. Kind? There's a kind? Well, apparently so...Araucana, Buff Orpington, Dark Brahma, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Jersey Black Giant, Plymouth Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, Salmon Faverolles, Turken, White Leghorn, and Cornish Hens are all just a few varieties. We got the Cornish kind for eating. They will not live long enough to lay eggs, poor things. Everyone tells me how delicious home raised chickens are. I love chicken so I look forward to finding out for myself. Todd raised chickens growing up, but I never have done anything like this so it's definitely interesting. And smelly! He'll be the one to harvest them this fall, I believe. I'm pretty sure I'm busy that day. :)
