Auntie Magic checking on the littles. No free ranging for them quite yet.

A short video of letting the littles out of the brooder. Brooding outside and on sand this year. Gotta say the sand has been a game changer. Also, we've seen several benefits of getting chicks in July instead of early Spring. Feel free to share any thoughts on sand, summer chicks or anything else you think of.
(Faverolles, SS, Dominiques and Australorps)

The littles braving the world outside of their brooder. Salmon Faverolle (6), Speckled Sussex (2), Dominique (2), Australorp (2).

We are down to 2 chickens if you can believe that! We decided it was time to clear house and start over. The kids kept their 2 favorites (Magic, a Buff Orp and Mrs. Piper, the loudest SLW you'd ever want). Some of the chickens sold very well at a nearby auction and the remaining hens are now living and laying down the road at my cousin's place, the Rush Family Farm.
So now we have room to start over and considerably less chicken p**p on the driveway, in the yard, you get it. But missing all the shenanigans chickens bring with them.
After seeing how well the Faverolles sold for us at the auction, we decided to add more to our new flock, Plus they are so fun to watch and interact with, it was kind of a no brainer.
We are also adding a few Dominiques which will be a new breed for us. And some tried and true breeds we love, Australorps and Speckled Sussex. So that was my order from Meyer Hatchery. We're considering adding another cockeral to the order. More than likely another Speckled Sussex as we've consistently had great SS roos.
We are picking them up tomorrow so keep an eye out for lots of pics to come.
Tell you what, we are at 995 likes. Share this with your chicken friends, get us to 1000 and we'll post a pic of a fluffy butt every couple of days and have a naming contest!
Gotta go work on the brooder. Enjoy your day and we'll see you soon!

This struck me funny so I thought I'd share. Please excuse my odd sense of humor. LOL

We've walked on them for years without notice, but once they're here they won't be ignored.
