Our order of chicks arrived. We have been looking forward to our Cornish rocks (for quick meat), Aracanas (for colored eggs), Silkie bantams (for cleaning up the front garden), and some additional laying birds for the farm-fresh egg business.
Unfortunately, almost all died en route.
Here are photos of the rocks, most of which made it:
And here are the handful of survivors of the bantams + the one aracana that made it:
Another addition this week was the return of the puppy "Roadster", since renamed "Winston." He spent a year in Conneticut. He came home this week. He hasn't been neutered, so we'll do that. He also needs some behavior modification work.
Here's what he looks like--handsome, isn't he!
