Peeps

We got our chicks on Thursday - 50 Cornish X Rock, 15 Barred Rock pullets and 10 Buff Orpington pullets. Our homemade brooders are made from bales of straw and ripe hay arranged in a hexagonal pattern. We made two because the hybrid broilers grow so much faster than the purebreds. We hope to have them outside within two weeks.
Here are some gratuitous cute kid and peep pics.


For the record, I'm predicting (based on udder development) that Bunny will be our first ewe to lamb. My guess is April 10th. We'll see.
