The first Five!

New chicks under the heat lamp

Young black sex-links and silver laced Wyandotte. Even chickens go through a gawky 'teen' stage.

Red sex-links out in the grass for the first time

Young black Australorp and Black sex-link

Young Amberlink - note the brown 'freckles' - these come from her red mother.

Ooh, look, clover! Yummy!

This is The Sheriff, a handsome Australorp rooster. He's got white toenails!

Gobbling up windfall apples. The hens really come running for these.
