Chicks Hatched in Past Week (Week of 3-2-25)
Golden Comet Chicks Arrive for Egg Production
A sunny afternoon served as a backdrop for leisurely journal writing on a hammock. An unexpected event soon followed - the arrival of eight new Golden Comet chicks on Wednesday, after a local production of Aladdin. The little ones are expected to be good layers in the fall.
Originating from the popular Golden Comet breed, these chicks are renowned for their impressive egg production, yielding over 300 eggs per year. Beginning to lay eggs at around 16 weeks old, they offer a quick return on investment for egg enthusiasts. Golden Comets are known for their friendliness, docility, and hardiness, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced chicken keepers.
The arrival of the chicks was a pleasant surprise for the family, who had former homeschool friends staying over for the weekend. Thomas and Ava Walker, children of the Walker family from Greenville, brought joy and excitement to the house. The Walkers' second oldest child attends SVU and offered to bring Thomas down for a weekend visit. Aladdin, in which several family members were cast as ensemble members, provided the perfect entertainment for the weekend.
Kaitlyn, a family member, has been busy crocheting to fund her upcoming trip to Utah. A recent order for a lamb doll from a customer with the last name of Lamb has kept her crafting skills in high demand. As she continues to work on various projects, Kaitlyn is determined to earn enough money to cover her travel expenses.
In acquiring these Golden Comet chicks, the family is investing in a practical and sustainable choice for their backyard flock. With their adaptability, dual use, and resilience, these birds are expected to bring both delight and productivity to the family's daily life.
Given the lifestyle of pet-keeping, home-schooling, and involvement in home-and-garden activities, the family's decision to adopt Golden Comet chicks not only enhances their backyard flock but also aligns with their sustainable and practical living approach. With their friendly nature, these chicks are likely to become an integral part of the home, interacting with their family members and even their pets.
