We got these little guys last night. They are so cute!

We started out with them in a small pond liner

But I thought they needed more room, so we moved them to a larger pond liner. Those freecycle things sure came in handy

a pond liner... what a good idea. so much lighter than a cattle trough!

Well, we have two dogs and at first they kept licking their lips and whining. after about a million "NO, leave the babies alone!" they now just stare. It's funny, our older girl growles at the younger one if she gets too close to the babies. Not sure if she's guarding them or wants them all for herself.

Not sure what they are. I got them at Tractor Supply. The guy there seemed really knowledgeable. He has a 200+ chicken farm out here. He said the lighter ones where probably Buff Orps, 5 of the darker ones are supposed to be Black Wyndots (?), I know I have one that is what we call "fancy feet", pretty sure it's some kind of Cochin. We'll just have to wait and see.

How old do they have to be before I can give them little pieces of veggies?
