New Chicks!

Welcome home to our newest babies! These Golden Stars hatched on March 22. We got them at three-weeks old (nice, they didn't need much heat lamp this time of year)! Meet Sophia, Dorothy, Blanch, and Rose! 💖 

We did have to remove Sophia from the group as she was more than a little mean & aggressively pecking and feather pulling on the other girls. We doctored up the scabs, boo-boos, and even a bloody tail with blue antibacterial / antibiotic ointment on the three sweet girls. 

The babies have moved into the small Starter Coop in the backyard and this weekend we will move the little coop next to the big coop so all the birds can begin getting to know another. (Sophia may be free-ranging if she doesn't get her act together!)

They are 23 days old in the pictures shown here and as of today, are five-weeks old!
