Our ladies are now 34 days old and in thier own coop. As you can see, they're ready to get out but it will be awhile before I let them free range.
They've grown a bunch! Here's Mr & Mrs Wyandotte. He's lost all his green dye, but I know he's the boy because of all the white on his gullet. None of the hens have as much. You can also tell the rooster because his comb is beginning to grow ...it's the bright orange on the beak.
They're also getting their colors in. The little rusty colored one in the middle is one of the Bantams.
And these pretty girls....Rachel and my guinea!!!
They've escaped the coop a few times now and are quite tricky to catch....especially when they fly into the cedar trees. It's funny. Rachel spends her time trying to get in the coop and the chicks spend their time trying to get out.
the girls wanted me to mention that while we were in the coop taking photos, a doe and her twin fawns came into the yard. We watched them for a few minutes before they ran off. I guess our sudden movement from trying to get a good photo was more than the mama could handle. I want a 400mm lens worse than ever!
