New Arrivals and National Poultry Day
Last week I heard there was a National Poultry Day. Don't you just love how no matter what your passion or interest is, there is probably a day dedicated to it. So, how did I want to celebrate National Poultry Day? With new chicks of course! Meet Cecily and Amelia.
The newest members of our flock are White Rock chicks. I have not had this breed before, so I did a little background check on the breed. White Rocks are one of the heavier breeds of chickens. Known to be a good egg layer and a fast grower. I am a sucker for the heavy chickens, already owning several Barred Rock Hens in addition to the Americanas, Rhode Island Reds, Silver Laced Wyandottes, and one beautiful White Cochin hen. I also just love the Buff Orpingtons and Black Astrolorps. So this seemed to be a great addition to our chicken family.
