Chicks, Chicks, and MORE Chicks

Been an eggciting weekend.  

Red Star

We bought 3 chicks on Thursday evening at the NEW local True Value store, they are called Red Star and they are all 3 pullets.

All 3 Red Star's

Friday I had to take my daughter grocery shopping, and we ended up stopping at the local Southern States to see what kind of chicks they had. Well I ended up purchasing 6 Black Sex-Link Chicks and 1 Buff Orpington, all pullets.

Went back to True Value and got 3 more chicks, 2 were Partridge Rock and the other one is an Ameraucana, all pullets.

Then we were off to Tractor Supply for more chicks, our meat birds or so I had hoped.  When we got there, they were ALL SOLD OUT! :(  So I thought I would just go ahead and get some others, so we got 6 Barred Rock pullets and 1 Barred Rock Rooster and we got 1 California White (hope its a pullet as well).

Then of course we got home with everyone and put them all in the box together, so I don't have photos of all of them together in their separate boxes.  But then, a few hours after we got home, our first bantam chick hatched in the incubator!!! 

3 New Bantam Babies

7 Bantam Babies, waiting to see if more hatch.

Bantam Baby needs some TLC, has Spraddle Leg

With her splint on, it's the wrong size, so we had to do a different one.

Waiting to see if anymore bantam eggs hatch.  Have 3 or 4 more in the incubator along with 3 duck eggs that are not expected to hatch till next Saturday.
