Chicky Update

 The chickies have moved outside!
I can't say I wasn't happy to  make the transition, mostly due to the following word puzzle:
chicks = stinky
chicks = stinky

We enclosed part of the yard next to the Cabin/Monkey House with chicken wire to create a run and Dad/Papa built a doggy/chicky door so they can go in and out.
You can tell from the pics their getting their adult feathers.
They should all be some form of Rhode Island Reds.
We don't know their genders yet.
Hopefully there all hens!


At night the girls and I shooo them into the cabin and turn on their night light, the heat lamp, which I find ironic because its the same lamp KFC uses to keep their fried chicken warm.
They have taken to outdoor living like a duck takes to water.

 We keep them slightly enclosed in the cabin to keep out drafts and make them feel  cozy.
