They are so cute at that age. My friend incubates eggs and I love seeing them hatch and grow. What breed are they? We get 6 eggs a day with our Isa Browns and Black Astrolorps however I have become egg intolerant. They are fine cooked in a cake etc, but cant eat them on their own or a quiche etc. Have fun watching them grow

Oh how cute, bet the family are loving that. Will be great to watch them grow. Just think how excited they will be in a few months time when you get your first egg :)

DG ... egg intolerant.  What a shame.  My DH has recently become lactose intolerant.  How come we can handle foods, etc. up to a certain point then our bodies suddenly decide ".... well, that's it, I don't like this food any more so let's just start reacting badly to it ..."?  It's not fair.  At least you can still get your fresh eggs by other means, so that's good.

How  lovely Meagan. I love the way the chicks just drop asleep wherever they are and how they follow you round.

 :) We got our chickens about 6 weeks ago.
We have 5 that are 6 weeks old, and 6 that are POL.
Fresh eggs every day are great. My kids love them.

We have around 15 at the moment but this includes 4 roosters that will be taken to auction this weekend.

Our kids love watching and playing with them.

Our egg production is extremely low due to weather changes and moulting. Can't wait for them to all recover and get back into production once more.

I have an Isa brown who lays everyday, a frizzle and 2 new baby leghorns.m I've lost several sillies to disease but they were gorgeous!! My frizzle sits on my lap for cuddles and the two babies follow my very confused poodle around!  The cat ios loftily indifferent!
The Isa free ranges during the day and truthfully has demolished many vegetables!  The 3 smaller ones are in the tractor most of the day but let out when we are in yard.  I've lost one chicken to a dog and one baby taken by crows we think.
They really are my babies!  They are very therapeutic and to me make the house a home!!   ;D

Joynatalie - we too have lost silkies! We now have a rule that no matter how cute they are we are not buying anymore of that breed.

We have a mixture of Isa, Rhode Island, Minorca, Aracuana - lays the prettiest blue egg!, Sussex, Barnevelder and quite a few Pekin.

Cuilidh, it is strange how intolerances can suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Megan,  these are going to be great family pets.  Your children are going to learn so much from them.  They will learn how to be kind and gentle with them and this translates to people. Enjoy them.
