There are many paths to happiness in this wide world of ours, but right here and now, happiness is holding a baby chick. This week we brought home nine more balls of fluff. One Buff Orpington, two Bantam Frizzles, three Bantam Cochins, and three Bantam Silkies were added to our chicken menagerie on Thursday.
One of my favorite things about bantam chicks is how they seem to be even tinier and thus more adorable than your average baby chick. They’re just so stinkin’ small!
They seem to be getting along well with our two week-old Americaunas, and following them around like a couple of big sisters. One can’t help but feel happy deep down inside watching them waddle around the brooder box, chirping away.
What can I say. I’m a crazy chicken lady.
