Chicken Freedom!




The chicks (or chickteens as it were) weren't overly interested in getting out today, but were content to perch on the side of the coop next to us, particularly Ginger, our sweetie pullet. It was pretty warm today (about 90) so they were panting quite a bit. Corsair is the Welsummer on the left in the 2 chick picture, and Ginger (darker) is on the right.

They will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, believe it or not, which means we have had them for 6 weeks! By late June they should be laying large dark brown eggs for us. They will also double in size again by then.
