Three Chicks A Day

Phil — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 09:10:34 +0000

If you love chickens and especially chicks, then be sure to head over to this website: Three Chicks A Day

The site owner decided to photograph 3 chicks, an Ameraucana (blue/green eggs), a Buff Orpington (good winter layer) and a Rhode Island Red (a true RIR) every day for 56 days to show them growing up into mature pullets.

Some of the photos are absolutely gorgeous and some are hilarious but the early ones are definitely the cutest!

If you fancy doing something similar to this, we of course supply incubators which will allow you to hatch your own chicks – a real treat if you have young children.
