Baby Chicks!

Anyway, we decided to raise free range chickens on our 10acres here in North Florida. We were able to get some 8-10 day old Plymouth Rock Barr chicks and some Black Sex Link chicks. I also managed to get 4 very cute 4 day old mix birds between Ameracauna and Rhode Island Reds.

MY daughter was having fun with the narration...

There should also be some roosters in the Plymouth Rock Barr chicks who are brooding separately as they are a few days older...

All will be able to free range on our 10 acres as we have farms on 3 sides and the highway (county road) is on the other.

Majorly shifted gears in life... opened a small business and trying to practice self-sufficiency and putting into practice my beliefs about living and the environment.

Good to hear from you!
