New chicks have arrived!


Future egg layers. Pictured here are the Isa Brown chicks. We also purchased more Barred Rocks. We have found these 2 breeds to be the most friendly and serious about laying eggs. We also have Buff Orpington's and Rhode Island Reds, but the Buff's are very broody and crabby. These chicks should start laying around December. The chicks now have a brooder area in the barn so we can clean out our garage. Now that the hot, humid weather is here, we'll be glad to have the chicks out from underneath our noses.
