Our chickens are now 4 weeks old. Hard to believe it has been that long since they came to our house. Here's a picture of four of our five chicks (The black one to the left is Frigglish. The black one next to her is Tapioca. The light one in the upper right corner is Coco. And the brown and tan color one in the lower left is Dorito. Missing from the shot is Puccini.).
Here's a good look at Puccini. Her body is pretty much covered with nice feathers except for her neck and head. She still has fine downs in these areas and looks a little funky. *giggles* Her face is starting to show some pink colors (will eventually be red) as the comb is starting to grow. The white-ish blur in the foreground is Coco barging in onto my arm at the last second to photo-bomb. She is so 'in your face' with everything she does...
Right after the previous shot, she 'confronts' the camera. XD My kitty, Marshmallow, looks on right outside the run.
Frigglish sitting on my knee, perfectly well-behaved. This girl is so sweet. She was the first one to warm up to us and never complained being handled by us. Such a good girl! We love Frigglish.
Tapioca, looking pretty. She is another one that really warmed up to me in the past week. She likes to sit on my shoulder as I clean their coop. Very calm, content, friendly, and trusting. Sweet bird! She will be all black at maturity. Should be gorgeous.
They are growing fast and very healthy, judging from their behavior. They like coming out of the coop when it's bright and warm outside. They are scared by the cats lunging onto the chicken wire every so often, but they run quite fast. It's fun to see them run around when one of them has something in the mouth that everyone wants ... like a piece of leafy green. XD Chicken football.
