My four new chicks are getting about old enough to lay in a few weeks!! One actually did the "dance" when I went to pick her up today!

Here they are on the 2nd level of the new chicken pen. They are very brave!

Here you can see them eating wheat grass from the suet feeder. With one of the Barred Rocks trying to get some too.

And here they are taking a communal dust bath.

We've had some nice warm weather so far the past few days. It is to get cold tomorrow and maybe even some rain!

That hanging noose doesn't make them nervous? LOL
It made me nervous to see it from that angle! I need to fix it with a a clippy thing and a smaller loop, I don't want them to accidently get caught in it.

Those neck hackles made me want to get out my fly tying kit and tie up some trout flies. :/
