Chicks showed up today! Not ready AT ALL for them... but that is how things have worked this summer. We ordered Rhode Island Reds, Pioneers, Black Australorps, and Araucana chicks. We've raised all of these breeds before, except for the Pioneers. Only ordered two dozen this time. But we have a broody hen setting on another dozen. And we will keep at least one rooster out of the Pioneers, so we won't have to order chicks for a while.
We have turkey chicks too-we are down to only 9 of them though... gosh they seem to like to die... :( Started out with 15. They are about 2 weeks old now, so hopefully we are past the worst of it.
We picked up 7 ducks the end of May. 6 Mallards and one Pekin duck. They were about a month old when I got them-so they are about 3 1/2 months old now.

Our pigs are coming along well. Tripp and I went over to Judith Gap and got 3 feeder pigs June 3rd. They fit in our dog kennel, like three sardines, so were about 30 pounds. We make nightly trips out to Roundup-living only 4 miles from town helps! We pick up food waste from the Grand, the Youth Center, and one of the assisted living places .
