I may have decided I was going to get my impulse buys under control. You know…no more house plants. Well, I found something else that I just couldn’t resist when I stopped at the feed store yesterday.
Someone was not happy being my model.
I brought home four barred rock chicks. They are all supposed to be hens. But, seriously, they were 75% off because they were getting big. They were getting to the size that you can feel comfortable that they are actually going to grow up. So I could not resist them for 87¢ per chick.

They will grow up to look like this. She is my only barred rock right now.

For now, I have them in the pen out in the chicken building so they can get used to each other.
I did add the second cage, so they have enough room for the week or two or three until I let them out.
So far, they seem to like their new accommodations, as long as I don’t ask them to smile for a picture.

Awww, so sweet! I’m glad you found some new feathered friends.
Lol!
I love the title
I like your impulse buy! They’ll beautiful! I hope they’ll all make it.
They are doing well, and they are big enough I am not horribly worried about them surviving.
That’s good to know.
My daughter has been clearing out a friend’s storage space and has really enjoyed a feathered friend. This lovely black hen is very friendly. My daughter has been giving her some grain each time she comes by. The hen’s feathers shine with irridescence in the sunlight. It’s a delight to see!
