chicks have a visitor

Last Friday Shea came to visit his chick " Bob ". The chicks are getting bigger and some of them really like people. Shea took Bob and Patch for a stroll. It was actually the first time they had been outside the brooder box.

chicks are growing well

our chicks are 4 weeks old and they are starting to change . Their fussy plumage is changing into feathers and they are now looking like small chickens. Different personalities are developing also.
Henrietta has a beautiful buff coat but is very squared of people. Lovely is the smallest of them all. Her coat has not come in fully but I think she will be a mixture of buff and brown. Bob and Chicky are the most industrious. Always running around and scratching for food. Peckerina and Patch are the most people friendly. They like to be tickled and are easy to handle.
