A Whole New World

Our baby chicks are finally out of the garage!! Well, kinda. We don't have a coop for them just yet, so technically they still sleep in the garage. But during the day - they can be seen roaming around the ranch doing their chicken thing.


So far, the other chickens don't seem to mind them a whole lot. Although, Serafina doesn't care for them too much. She tried to peck one of the black ones the other morning until she finally just ran and hid somewhere. I think she is the alpha female or something. She was pretty preturbed that there were new girls on the block.

Cogburn has taken a fancy to them. He likes to dance around and strut his stuff for them sometimes. But, for the most part, the babies run around in their own flock. Minding their own business and taking cover when the big girls come around.


We think one of the black and white chicks may turn out to be a rooster. He/She has always been more aggressive than the rest. And when He/She saw the big flock, the first thing He/She did was run right over and start pecking at the others. Kinda a rooster move - like he was protecting his flock from the strange, large birds that were around suddenly. Only time will tell...
