For almost three weeks now, I’ve been thinking about chickens, reading about chickens, and even dreaming about chickens. An infrared heat lamp sits in its box in the hallway and the whiteboard on the door is counting down the days till September 24-roughly the day six chicks come in the mail. We are getting three buff orpingtons, known for their friendly temperament:
An Australorp, known for egg laying skills:
A Wyandotte, for the colors:
and Rhode Island Red, also a good egg layer:
I’ve already made a list of chicken names, and it gets longer every day. I’m finding it extremely hard to wait until September 24.
Sarah,
Those chicks are pretty cute. Hope yours arrive in as gooda shape. Chickens are fun to watch. It won’t be long now.
Love, Grandma Kathy
