Chicks...

These are our new chickens...I love them. They're beautiful. We got 6 of them, 3 of each kind.


Cochins...2 Hens and a Rooster. They're gorgeous. They have feathers one their feet. To give you an idea of how big these birds get...When you go a restaurant and get a piece of chicken (or don't if you don't swing that way) it comes from a bird that weighs about 2-3 pounds. These birds will get to be about 10-12 pounds. They also make great pets as they are very docile.

These ones are called Egyptian Feyoumi. They're crow at 4 weeks and start laying eggs at 4 months. However the downfall of these chicks is that they're soo skiddish. They're still pretty little. Just over 3 weeks old.

We'll have eggs in a few months. I'm excited. They do a really good job of taking care of the bugs in the garden. We let them run around in the lawn and graze as they like.
