Growin' Like a Spring Chicken!

 The babies are probably about 8 weeks old now. From what we've read, we can expect eggs anytime after 20-25 weeks. These little guys have quadrupled in size! And, I am feeling much more attached now that they are living in the coop and not in the dog room. (Shew!) We still don't know now many will be hens and how many are roosters (ie lunch or dinner), but regardless, ALL 25 have survived so far! Thanks Santa!
We have noticed this little peeper seems to favor the TOP roost...the one with the window. (Will read somewhere that chickens prefer to have a window to gaze out while roosting. I think he must have missed the small print at the bottom of that page that said, "S-U-C-K-E-R!"
