We added three new chicks to the flock tonight, a replacement French Wheaton Marans and Barred Rock and an additional Bluebell. We named them Nugget, Nando, and Blueberry, in order. They are getting along great with the old chicks, who probably can't count to realize there are more now. I distracted them with some corn grits, so they were going crazy when the new chicks were dropped in. Waffles still seems to be in charge, but her sister Blueberry might give her a run for it. All the new chicks were hatched the same day, and they are generally the same size.
Before: 5 Chicks.
After: 8 Chicks!
Sisters, Waffles and Blueberry. Blueberry appears to have wonky toes and blue legs. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. I'm hoping it is.
Going crazy for the Corn Grits: They LOVE those grits.
