Spring Chickens!

A few weeks ago we bought some new chicks. They are now in that awkward scrawny-raptor phase and are feathering out. I moved them outside today with a heat lamp (they are approx 5 weeks old) and took some photos of them, and the rest of the flock.

This is Voodoo, She may be a little funny-looking, but she is the best layer in the flock.

She's got....... personality. 

Here are two of the babies. 

Snowball and Penny, sweet bantams with the cutest little eggs.

Bubbles, and Iowa Blue (AKA The Chick That Lived). She is also a great layer, despite surviving being mauled by a cat as a chick.

Another baby. This one miiiiight be a rooster :/

Nikkou, pretending not to give a shit.

    We are getting lost of eggs now, and by the end of the Summer, we might be looking at 9/day or more! Yikes! Lots of egg salad, omelettes, frittatas, and quiche in our future.
