The chickens are growing up fast and are no longer cute little chicks. I seriously wish they would have stayed teeny tiny forever!
Last week we finished the coop and really like the outcome. It seems to be sturdy, comfortable, and hopefully predator proof (we had a bear checking them out earlier today....yikes).
Right now the chicks are in the coop and attached run pretty much all the time. I've been letting them out to free range most evenings and they are starting to expect that. They start getting pretty loud around 7:30. We plan to build a mobile run to put them in during the day in which they can do some more foraging and ranging.
They are a lot of fun to watch. Rilyn's favorite part is giving them treats so they probably get more people food than they should at this point.
Can't wait to start getting some eggs in about 14 weeks!
