Chick chick here and a chick chick there

Ever had one of those moments where you wonder what the heck you just got yourself into? This was me...after making a marathon trip to two feed stores and a friend's house to pick up chicken's and supplies.

 

We made it home RIGHT as a very very bad storm hit...crazy amount of scary wind.  We made it through just fine...and so did the 'girls'.  We haven't named them yet...well, Raelee named one Pecker. 

I can definitely tell them apart already though...even within the same breed. They have distinct markings. 

Let me introduce you to them.

This has been the site all evening. She is in love!

Rhode Island Red and Buff Orphington getting some chow.

Dogs....not so sure about this chicken thing. "NO BIRD" can be heard frequently.

Barred Rock. They sure are pretty.

Rhode Island Reds are the two on teh far lefthand side.

Buff Orphington. These guys are quite shy.

The whole flock!

It's guaranteed to be a long night...bad weather, dogs going nuts over weather and birds,  my oh my...what have I gotten myself into.
