Big Bird's big move

[Chickenpoor]

My dad and I finished building a barn/shed for Big Bird yesterday. We painted it and let it stay empty over night because the paint smell was strong on the inside even though the inside wasnt painted. This morning I moved Big Bird out in it with his feed bowl and waterer. At first he didnt really like it and walked the gate that I put in front of it to keep the goat away from him until he gets bigger. But as the day went on he eventually got use to it and settled down. He was long over due for being put outside and im glad we finally got it done to put him out but it is kind of quiet and lonely when I go in my room now. Well here are a couple of pics of the barn and him in it.

Big bird is cute. It looks like this one will grow to fill the new house.

Yeah thats why I was wanting to know how old she is. She is even bigger than Big Bird at only 8 days older than him. Its hard to believe the size difference between them. Maybe BB will start getting big now. He tried to help my dad in the garden this afternoon and ate like 2 big mouthfuls of organic potting soil. I will start a new thread with pics of him "trying" to help in the garden.

How old is Big Bird? My baby is 3 days old and I am curious as to how fast they grow?
