Chicks are such fun! The full flock has 7 chicks. While it looks like there are 2 kinds of chicks above (3 yellow and 4 brown), we actually got 6 different breeds. Chicks come in only 3 colors though... brown-ish, yellow, and black. In our last flock, he had 3 black chicks, but we don't have any this time. This flock contains 2 Americaunas, 1 Brahma, 1 Delaware, 1 Salmon Faverolle, 1 Sussex, and 1 Welsummer.
In the photo above, all the chicks are sleeping, except one!
Here the chicks are about a week old and are starting to explore a little bit when the cage door opens. The first two chicks to sit on the door are consistently Kelly (brown one at the end of the flap door) and Shasta (bright yellow chick nearest to Kelly). In our last flock, the first two to explore out of the cage also were the friendliest as hens.
