Chicks eating tomatoes

Chicks get some grass sprouts



I started growing some of the pasture seed, in a container for the chicks. They destroyed most of it. I'm going to re-do the lawns with this new chicken Omega-3 pasture seed, so they have plenty to graze on.

New small chicken tractor



Built a small tractor so the chicks could enjoy the outdoors without me babysitting.

The chicks hear something and stop peeping. Of course, Chrissie is busy taking a dust bath and doesn't even notice.





Bondie finds a leaf.

Introducing...

Siouxsie (Susie), Blondie, and Chrissie. We finally came up with some names for the peeps. They are getting some wing and tail feathers. They changed so much in just one week.

Extending the Family


The brown chick is what they are calling an "Ameraucana", but really it's a hybrid. Easter Egg is a more correct variety name. She will lay blue or green eggs.
Grey/Black chick is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Will have black and white lacy feathers.
Yellow girl is a Delaware. She will grow up to be white with some black accents.


Close up of the Easter Egg chick. I'll post more photos once they get settled in. It's been a long day for them.
