Chickens Little

It wasn't planned but I managed to come home from Standard Feed with three peepin' chicks! Their breeds are Black Australorp, Black Sex Link, and Buff Orpington. They'll stay indoors for several weeks before a coop is constructed and they're allowed to put a whoopin' on our insect population.

It's going to take a few days before I can come up with names. At first I thought the Australorp was going to be Xena. She's huge compared to the other two, an Amazon, if you will. She wasted no time hitting the food dish and she ate a tiny gnat that found its way into the brood box. She'd only been in the box for five minutes. She's going to be a survivor for sure. They're adorable to watch, just ask Omega.
