They Grow Up So Fast


Here we are, finishing up week two and heading into number three. Already they have many feathers (some more than others), they seem to have all the basics down (eating, pooping, scratching--for food, scratching--as in curing an itch, stretching, flying, worm eating). We had warm weather and sun for a few days so they got plenty of outside time. They look so different from even a few days ago.

This little black one is the boldest of the bunch. She can be counted on to come running any time you show up with a worm.

This is a close-up of their current feather growth. Most already have these tails sprouting, and every day they get a new patch of wings.


And here she is showing off her latest talents of wing spread and walking the balance beam.
Between chickens and garden chores we sure are keeping busy around here these days.
