Our Newest Member

Welcome to the newest member of our ever growing farm family! This baby chick hatched on Tuesday the 18th. He is a beautiful auracana with a fiesty disposition. We were glad he only had to spend one night alone, as two siblings hatched the following day. We have three more eggs to go so we'll post photos of the whole brood once they all have arrived.


It was such a thrill to be home at the time of the hatching. We took a break from math and enjoyed a spontaneous science lesson. Wow...we had never seen this before!

Our four hatchlings are doing well and enjoying their home on our porch where it is sunny, warm, and easy to take a peek at any time. We have two with stripes, one dark brown with a fuzzy "beard", and a dark charcoal chick who resembles our brooding mother.
