I'm going to have to up my bribery game. I've been trying to just give them chick food when I handle them. Meal worms and yogurt is comin out tomorrow. XD

Oh man my girls freak out when my hand goes in now. They’ve figured out I bring the goods! One flies to me when I get near the brooder. Every morning before I’m up they make a huge fuss until I get in the room and talk to them. I’m finishing up my coop & covered run for them all. It’s 30ftx8ft. I’m painting everything and then I have a week of dry time before it’s good to go.

How old are yours now?
I don't want to give mine too many treats too early either :x

Mine turned two weeks today

Okay I took pictures of everyone and I think I have names all figured out.
This one is Elsa. Silver laced Wyandotte and my niece's favorite.

And this is Anna the Easter egger.

This is Belle, my mom's favorite. She is the calmest and friendliest. (EE)

This one is Kida. I think she might be the most flighty. Doesn't like being separated from the group. And here she is telling me off about that. (EE)

This is Nala. Also friendly. Biggest cheeks award to this Easter egger.

Last but not least, Moana and Lilo, the two welsummers. Sometimes I think I can tell them apart when they're next to each other. But really for the most part not really.

They are 6 days old today. Some tail feathers peeking through the fluff.

I'm loving all of the pictures of the new chicks! Cannot wait to see more as you all get them in.

Makes me sad that my girls are a little older and out of the fluff stage.

I'm sure I'll feel that way too, but right now I'm all excited everytime I notice new feathers. Haha

A couple of them learned to roost on their branch today!

Mine are due a week from today! I can’t wait! Pictures here for sure.

I spent the last couple hours, after work today adding a outlet for the electric fence. Tomorrow, start running wire!

Growing!
They'll go to the basement enclosure this weekend.
