We have chicks!

After cancelling the online order of chicks (because they had a “glitch” and couldn’t ship my chicks until May 20th), I went in search of local Faverolle chicks.

I had to drive an hour away to a feed store that received a shipment today, but they had faverolle pullets, and enough for me to get 12! There is a 5% chance that one is male, which would not be a bad thing, since I originally wanted a rooster too.

Here is a video, it is a little broken up, I’ll get better with practice!

Sophie is very curious about what I’ve brought home to put in “her house”.

Our kids were super excited when I picked them up from school. My eldest is already training them to be lap chickens. I think she will be successful because one fell asleep in her hand!
