The Replacements

Filed under: Chickens — Will @ September 9, 2008

Late Summer ChicksThree of our spring chicks turned out to be roosters and the last of them went to the "block" today. Shame the Rhodes Island was very friendly :( So last weekend we picked up 5 replacements from someone on CL, they're a few months younger than the other girls so they'll be in the quarantine pen that is inside the electric fence for a while yet.

We got, 2 Black Australorps, 2 Black Star and one other speckled pullet, I can't remember what she is, I was told and saw an older version of the breed, we only meant to get four new birds but I'm a sucker for rare breeds :)
