Spring must be here soon, I've purchased my first batch of chicks

Was in Tractor Supply and it was the first day they had chicks.  Coincidentally, two days ago a dog or coyote got 6 of my hens.  So of course I went home with 6 new chicks. 




It's been snowing and cold here in Kentucky, like most of the country, so the chicks are in the den.




I've also just ordered 8 Creme Lebar chicks online.  Can't wait till they are laying.


They lay blue eggs.  They were hard to find and very costly for day old chicks.  But I'm hoping the eggs and chicks I get will quickly re coop my costs.   Besides they are great looking birds who lay BLUE eggs.
