One Week Chickens

Well, the chickens have been with us for over a week and are already fully integrated into our daily lives. 


Here, I had to cuddle one to read books (as requested by Finn):

 Finn loves, loves, loves these chicks and is constantly asking when he can hold a chicken.  In fact, right when I began this post, Finn said to me, "Will you check on the temperature of the chickens and make sure they are doing okay?"

 Finn discovered if he was patient and still, the chicks would eat from his hand:

 It is one of the few times where he actually stays still!

 The birds are looking great.  They are becoming much more active, flapping around a lot.  They are growing and tail and wing feathers are growing quickly.

 I love all the different colors and I am starting to get to recognize each one, although we haven't actually named most of them.  We do have one that we call chipmunk because of the stripes down her back.
