So the chicks are settling in. Of course, they arrived during a snowstorm. And the temperature has been dropping below zero every night. It was a hard trip and we lost 4 Black Stars, 4 Phoenix, a bantam Gwen had ordered, and 4 big yellow chicks that were added for extra warmth (two of the six survived).
Everyone that is left is looking good.

Happy Chick Day!
We got a batch of chicks on Monday March 2. We are adding to our small flock: 25 Black Star females. Gwen also got some Phoenix.
