The chicky-bits are doing great! They're really starting to fatten up, and are getting more comfortable around the kids and me. Jeff has 2 of them trained to come up and get snacks out of his hand...I'm not sure who is trained; the Sussex and the Ameracauna or Jeffery.
Its funny how quickly they established a pecking order....the Sussex (above) is definitely the head chick. At night she climbs up on the side of the house and starts 'gobbling', calling the smaller chickens in. Then she'll race around the house a couple of times to make sure everyone is in before she retires herself.
The little Frizzles are tiny compared to the other hens, maybe a pound or so each, but they surely don't take any crap from anyone. They just stretch their little necks out and start bouncing around. And they're the kids' favorite chickens. If I'm not careful, I'm afraid they'll end up as house-chickens.
And now Isaac's favorite picture....."Chicken Butts, Chicken Butts!!!!". He's sick. I know. Got it from his father.
