These CUTE little critters are GROWING! WOW! The chicks have outgrown several boxes and are eagerly awaiting their coop. Rich bought a coop plan on-line and has been busy building it. At week one, they started to try to fly out of their box. As soon as one saw another do that, the other had to copy the attempt. Yesterday, Mina and i made them a mini-roost as i was starting to find them up on top of their watering container.
I should give a chick update though, as we did lose Mina's Daisy around week one. There were a couple frantic calls to my chicken farmer Dad. It was rather SAD. As a result, we went out and came home with two more chicks. So we now have Elmo, Prairie Dawn, Margo as well as Rose and "Daisy", full name Daisy Blue Green Egg Pretty, aka Daisy #2. We'll be planting a brush/tree by the coop in memory of Daisy#1.
Miles with his Elmo, Mina with her Daisy (Daisy #2 to be true). Notice the size difference. They are A WEEK apart in age. The chicks, not the children.
Coop builders!
