Meet the New Babies

We received 10 new replacement babies. These girls are healthy, energetic and a bit on the nosey side. Actually, one of the girls I handpicked because she was so Nosey and we named her Nelly. Nelly happens to be the loudest chick I have ever heard and she is always looking to start the fun.

Here is a picture of the new girls. We are keeping them seperated from the first chicks just to be safe.



There was no need to teach them about how to find the food. These girls were hungry and went after it straight away.


Nothing like a hen party around the waterer. We put a tray under the water to make sure they are not dragging it out and making the whole tub wet. They like to play chase around the water so someone always ends up going for a swim.



This looks like a serious conversation. What do you think they are saying to one another?


This is Boo. Her full name is Duck-Booey but we call her Boo. She is Sarah's hen.

And here is Boo with her sisters.


There are two red heads in this batch and Boo is one, the other is Boo-Boo. Well, that is her name until Taylor gives her a proper name that she chooses.
This batch has been wonderful from day one. We put them on starter feed and water with vitamins and Electrolytes for the first day and then went to straight water the next day. Every one has a hardy appetite and they love to play. This group needs a mama though because they can get a little rough with one another. Yea for healthy babies.
