It has arrived. Last week our chicks were cute little fluffballs. In a while they will have beautiful soft feathers. But now they're all scaly legs, goose-pimpled (chicken-pimpled?) necks, and exposed quills. And they're getting smelly. But still, there's a certain charm about them. Their peeps are still high-pitched and they're getting very curious. Every time I visit, they stretch those long necks up to check me out and come over to peck at my fingers.
I haven't posted much lately mainly because it's difficult to get a good quality photo of them in the pen; the lighting just isn't right. It's warming up a little bit around here, and I'm planning on taking them out for a field trip in the back yard soon!

Ah. Any pimples or pining for cute roosters yet?
How's Lucky?
They are starting to get sassy with each other, no swooning spotted at all! We are trying to figure out if there are any stealth roosters in the brooder. Some of the buffs are starting to get a bit feisty, but it's really impossible to tell yet.
Lucky is getting big and feathery, just like everyone else, not so much standing off in a corner sleeping anymore.
