Growing (Size and Friendliness)- 5 1/2 weeks old




















Coby is holding the Silver Laced Wyandotte. Notice the coloring in the feathers. This is our biggest chick.
















Remi enjoys feeding the chicks from his hand.
















While we were out of town for a long weekend, our neighbors cared for the chicks (and did a great job!). During that time, they made a roosting bar for the girls and we've seen several of them enjoying it. They also try to roost on the framing of the coop, so we will need to provide a couple more roosting options soon.
















Here is an up-close photo of one of the Buff Opingtons. She's got just a little bit of fuzz left on her head, but otherwise fully feathered.

Having chicks is a bit like having a baby around the house. We get lots of visitors who come by to see them, hold them, and check out the great coop! So fun-- we welcome more visitors!
