    They really are some smart mofos

    So while I'm in the process of building my coop, I'm still able to house them in it. It's located in front of my barn while the run is behind the barn.

They're 2 weeks old and getting bigger everyday! The kids love them...with the exception of having to do the chores that go along with them, lol...
