Cheep!

The chicks are in at Pocopson Hardware, and the cuteness factor is off the scale. They're housed in big black tubs, warmed by heat lamps and divided by type: Buff Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds and the like. This cutie is of the Gold Sex-Linked variety. I learned that "sex-linked" means that the chicks have been cross-bred so that they can be sexed by color. All the gold ones are girls.
