A new batch of chicks

Wifey got a new set of chicks to help Broody stop resembling her namesake.

She had wanted to purchase them from the feed store, unfortunately, due to issues with the postal service she ended up going to Tractor Supply.  She got two Isa Browns and Two Golden Comets.

Some info about each breed.

Golden Comet

• Smaller-sized (hens around 4 lbs)
• Medium to large brown eggs, 5-6 per week 
• Comparable to Rhode Island Red in output.
• Start laying early (around 4 months)
• They rarely become broody.
• Personable, mellow, doesn't mind being picked up.
• Will accommodate a wide range of temperature ranges.
• Could have comb problems when it's very cold.
•  Shorter life span (less than 4-5 years)

ISA Brown

• Medium-sized bird (hens around 5 lbs)
• Cross between Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island White
• Lay about 300 large brown eggs a year (averages 5+ eggs a week)
• Need more protein and calcium in their diet.
• Egg production drops notably after 2 yrs of age.
• Adaptable to most climates
• May develop reproductive and kidney issues over time
• Excellent temperament

Since Wifey had named the previous batch of chicks "The New Editions," I kind of like the idea of calling these "The Golden Girls" after their coloration.  I wonder if Wifey will go along with that.
