week six and growing like weeds... Check out how huge our babies have gotten. That's Beatrice right above. She's our Buff Orpington. I'm convinced that if you stare at them long enough, you'll be able to see them grow right before your eyes. Seriously, every day they shoot up a little more. Just check out Gertie, below. Remember when she looked liked this?
That's Dottie, above left. Here she is at a mere one week old. And that's Buzzbee to the right. They have all changed so much, so quickly. Their personalities also grow more distinct day by day.
This week kicked off the chick's introduction to the outdoors. We made a temporary pen for them to hang out in while we work around the yard. Tom's currently converting his former ice house into a chicken coop. Judging from his past six weeks of chicken cage contraptions, I have no doubt that he'll come up with an amazing coop. His deadline is this weekend, so stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed!

Looks like a secure pin you have there and I love your perching places. ;>)
How beautiful! I would love to raise my own chickens once we have a yard. Farm fresh eggs are simply amazing. Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos, and I'm excited to watch them over the next months.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I want to raise and love chickens...they are beautiful.
I cannot believe how big they are. So cute!
Your girls look healthy and secure in their pen. I wish you continued success in raising them.
