Annie & Frankie
Yesterday I brought home the latest additions to our flock, Annie & Frankie. Annie is a Buff Orpington and will be the larger more docile of the two. Frankie is an Araucana and she will lay blue/green eggs. For now, Frankie is a bit larger and enjoys the occasional peck at her "sister".
Glamour shot!
Show me that attitude - Look over your shoulder girls!
The color is orangeish due to the heat lamp hanging above them.

Jim put a small clock/thermometer in with the girls to keep track of the temperature. (91 in this pic.)
They initially pecked at the buttons - Training to be the next "Tic-Tac-Toe" chickens!
Well, they are about a week old and survived the stress of coming home and the first night in the bathtub. They will live inside for about a month before we transfer them to their own little coop outside. We just have to see how fast they grow and get their big chicken feathers.
"Chick" back later and watch them grow!
