They flew into Portland Airport...
We rushed to the feed store to pick them up...
They arrive in little boxes...
They are sorted by breed...
They are 2 days old.....the size of a cotton ball
The feed store keeps them here...
The heat lamps keep them cozy and warm...
They go right to the water feeder.....
They are thirsty after their ride on the airplane.

Brad unloads each chick and gives them a drink of water
Rhode Island Red Chick
Wyandotte Chick
Gunnr is excited to have baby peeps again...

The chicks will be raised in the 4 x 8 foot brooder box
over the next 3 months
