Meet the 'Hot Chicks'

The original order of 30 Buff Orpington day old pullet (female) chicks arrived 2 months late, on April 24, 2012.  The hatchery offered to correct their mistake on the original order placed for delivery on February 28, 2012.  Needless to say these chicks have a way to go before they catch up to the Barred Rock chicks delivery on February 28th, who are now 9 weeks old.  This is how they looked back in February.

So starts my adventure and learning with Backyard Chickens!
