And the flock grows...

We added two more to our flock today, both Ameraucanas as we had hoped. Gary went over to Del's Feed Store in Philomath after work and picked them up.

Meet Cleo and Digby Chicken Caesar.


The salesman at the feed store said they are about three weeks old. Pinky and Patsy are about their size too, so at least they are all at about the same development stage.

You will notice there are five chicks in the group photo below. The extra one is one we are holding onto for our friend Chad who wanted to add a blue-egg layer to his new flock too. She races around the pen like a madwoman and has a very decorated head that makes me think of a helmet, so I call her Maverick.
