The ladies (we still think they're all hens) have just spent their first night in the outdoor coop, still unfinished but with a great little sheltered room and their heat lamp to keep them cozy. They love playing in the run in the sunshine, eating and sleeping in dirt clods with Sam the chicken-herding dog close by. Caanan helped me clip their wings for the first time today - Dawn was ready to escape! Logan and Daniel Jr., sons of our neighbor friends, came over the other day to hold them. We love Backyard Urban Farm life! More pictures when the coop is finished.
Chicks are about 5-6 weeks old now. Maybe they'll lay eggs for my birthday! We're already planning a First Egg Bash.
