2024 Spring Chickens! Baby Chicks - Part 4

Written By Sally Ann Cheyne

Baby chick update! We have 26 baby chicks at the moment. I started off thinking we needed about 8 new baby chicks. And we ended up with 26. That is classic "chicken math."

Here is a breakdown:

  • 4 of Falcon's blue eggs hatched on April 15th! There is 1 named Chipmunk, I'll let you guess which one that is

  • 5 of Einstein's white eggs hatched on April 15th! We are hoping her babies are just like her previous baby chick - the famous Captain Sparkles!

  • 15 baby white leghorn chicks arrived in the mail (via USPS) on April 16th!

  • 1 Bonus / Charity chicken arrived from Meyer Hatchery on April 16th!

  • Also - photo of our chickens as of April 1, 2024. There are 29 adult chickens in this photo.

Captain Sparkles has been sitting on a nest of eggs and 1 of her baby chicks hatched!! Well, it was a brown egg actually - but she was sitting on it. It hatched on Tuesday, April 23rd! We put it in our chicken brooder, because it was randomly cold Tuesday evening
