meet the chooks

We finally got backyard chickens! (Aussie vernacular: "chooks", singular "chook")

They arrived on Thursday (six weeks after I ordered them) and are slowly being introduced to the garden. They won't be fully free-ranging, because I have garden plants that I'd like to keep, and the backyard (only the backyard for the moment; although we'll eventually maybe get to the frontyard...

( my sister named them )

Anyway, two new additions to the household!
