Our very first home-hatched chickens emerged from their shells yesterday. Some pipping and chirping happened the night before. We got four baby chicks from five viable eggs. The chicks pictured below are all from an Ameracauna rooster and a Barred Rock hen.

“And God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind; and God saw that it was good.” -Genesis 1:21

We got Chinese geese to guard our chicken flocks against hawks. In addition to being useful, they make for super cute Easter decorations. We bought 3 males from McMurray Hatchery, and we plan to give each one its own flock so they can best do their guard duties.
