Chicks!

We have two baby chicks now 2 weeks old sharing growing space with the seedlings.

The one on the left appears to be a buff orpington cross and the one on the right is a buff.
Don't know yet whether I have two roos or hens. For now, they're named Charles Dickens and Nathanial Hawthorne
(Charlotte and Natalie if we're lucky enough to have two hens).

Thanks to 15-year old Nicholas at Sugarmomma's Maple Farm in Northwood who hatched and sold us our new babies.
We have more baby chicks on the way - some Blue Laced Red Wyandottes!
Also we're trying our hand at hatching some fertilized eggs in an incubator in April.
