Chicks 2005, courtesy of Butterfield Acres Farm. They turned out to be all roosters. We kept three (Larry, Curly & Mo).

2006 - our first chicken eggs.

An "Isa-Brown" hen. Isa-Brown is a kind of commercial hybrid brown egg layer. Quite calm and friendly.

2006 - our first home-hatched chicks. The parents (Isa-A-Browns) are sex linked - the roosters are white and the hens red. The next generation does not carry on this link so both sexes can be either colour.
