More Chicks

The chicks seem to be rather popular (understandably so!), and lots of people want to see more pictures. They're out in a run in the garden now, and have just started to venture out.

This is one of the Pekins, complete with fluffy feet!

This is the first to hatch, remember how I said he/she was going to be trouble? Well turns out there was a mix up in the eggs I'd ordered, and this little chick is actual a Polish rather than a Pekin... 

Unfortunately the poor dear is going to continue getting even funnier looking, pictures of adults here.



Gwen loves the new additions. When we first got the chickens she was obsessed with them, and sat lookng at their cage for hours. Even now she still has to come and help collect the eggs.

Here she is with Cav

She spends most of the day by the cage, watching, and no it's not that she wants to eat them, though I won't trust her unsupervised with free rnage chicks for a while.
