How fast they grow! 6 week pics.

Funny how when I kept them inside in a brooder (aka cardboard box) they were scared of me. Now I trip over them!

They've been outside almost a month now and most are fully feathered. I have one breed that was slower in feathering out but two chicks of that breed still aren't fully feathered out. Other than that, all are healthy. I started out with 2 heat lamps in their shelter. Now I have one on only at night. I will soon be taking that away.

As you can see, some of them have discovered the bowls of dog food on the porch. They have a ball kicking it all out!

Oh they are so adorable. Isn't that something how chicks like you better the older they get? Some breeds grows faster than others.

Your chicks are beautiful!

At Four weeks old. I moved them to the henhouse yesterday. They are such scaredy chickens.

I love the pic of the bird kicking out the dog food!

I wonder what the dog had to say to that chicken?
