Congratulations! It's a girl, a girl, a girl and another girl...we hope!


What could be in this box?


Surprise! 

We got four pullets today. They are 8 weeks old and we got them at Empire Farm in Poland (ain't Craig's List great?). There is a Rhode Island Red, a Leghorn, a Golden Comet, and a Black Sex link.  The Black Sex link is already named Little Jane after HE's aunt, but we are open to suggestions for the other three.  They seem very sweet and curious.  And so is Abby.  It's like she has totally forgotten she grew up with chickens.  She is VERY interested in these girls.

Here are some photos of their digs.




If all goes well, they should start laying eggs by August.
