New Team

We've got a new batch of chicks joining the Gap Mountain Garden Team.  They arrived on July 9th from mypetchicken.com and have been growing like weeds ever since!



We originally ordered 5 but sadly, a silver-laced wyandotte did not survive the trip.  We're left with 4 and actually, that is the perfect size for our small family and home.  The roster includes:  a golden-laced wyandotte, speckled sussex, silver marans and a dominique.  The dominique is a rising favorite for her super laid back attitude.  The sussex is a close second for her uncurable curiosity.  The other two act like you're trying to murder them when you walk into the room.  I guess no matter how much handling you do, some will just always be nervous.




These ladies are ready to head to their outside home.  We're just waiting for a dry day to finish our coop upgrades and repairs.   Relentless rains have slowed progress for most everything this summer.
