Chicks growing up

Our "baby" chicks are getting bigger and growing lots of feathers. I never took pictures when they were housed in the garage in a very large cardboard box, but we recently moved them to much bigger quarters and now have some nice photos of the girls. I also shot a short video so you can see them already acting like chickens. They are fascinating to watch and get to know. Look at all those feathers!

We initially started with 15, but the first day or two whittled the flock to "lucky" 13 and that's held for two weeks. Fresh, home-grown eggs and happy farm life are our goals with this project.

So far, so good.

Enjoy!
