Here are the new babies. We added 4 new Barred Plymouth Rock chicks to our house. The kids are enjoying having babies again in the garage! These ones are about a week old I am guessing since some of the fuzziness on the wings have turned into feathers.
They will stay in the garage for the next couple months before we try and move them outside. I have a plan to get them mixed into our existing flock. Remember the chicken tractor my husband made me last year? Well I am going to keep the new hens in there next to the chicken coop for a couple weeks. Then I will eventually add the new birds in. Hoping it works out ok and I don't start any hen fights!I'll keep you posted on how they do.

Oh do keep us posted on how that works as we will need to introduce our new chicks to our other hens as well at some point :)
