Chicks!

Our chicks are here! Three of the 5 eggs we incubated hatched. They are in the lower pictures. The little box that Aedyn is inspecting is our mail-order batch of beauties. We have two Black Australorp hens, two Buff Orpington hens, and 5 mixed Aracanas (they lay blue-green eggs.) The hatchery sent a surprise chick and we think it may be a Silver Laced Wyandotte.
They are all so beautiful. We currently have them in a big box with a heat lamp in the dining room and they are so fun to watch. They pile around each other to nap.
