chicks!

                  Our chickens have been very busy!  Here are the eggs that our Golden Campine Chickens laid.  We almost have a dozen....this week.             
 This is Lucy.  She is my chick.  We got her Monday night along with 15 other chicks.  But, one seems to be dying.  We had to separate her.  Lucy looks different from the other chicks.  She looks like a different breed.  She is a Golden Comet chicken.
 We got 5 Golden Comets, 5 Buff Orpingtons and 6 White Rocks.  One of the White Rocks is sick.
 Can you tell which one is Lucy?  She's the second one! This is one White Rock, Two Golden Comets and One Buff Orpington.

The White Rocks have a little bit of grey on them.  They will be pure white. Here's the chicks in their first picture together.  They are all pullets....hens.  We know they are pullets because when you first pick them up after the hatch the pullets will put their heads down.  When you pick up a rooster, he will put his head up and kick.  They were hatched on Thurday the 10 and Friday the 11.  By Hannah
