We've been expecting these packages in the mail for the past four days; they are the day old chicks that will become our laying hens for next farmer's market season.(The red cast comes from the heat lamps that keep them warm)
We purchased the "brown egg layer" assortment from McMurray Hatchery, and have a variety of breeds, including the ones that lay blue and green eggs. Some look like chipmunks, others like owls.
