DH has spent the afternoon assembling my new dog kennel for our chicks (boo hoo...can't say "girls" any more since one of the little buggers turned out to be a boy). It will probably be another day or two before it's totally secure, but in the meantime, I can bring them out of the coop one at a time and let them hang out while I sit in the run with them. It was SO exciting seeing them act like busy little chickens! I felt like a real heel putting them away after only one hour. Here are pics of their big day:
The gang's all here:
My pretty GLW cockerel who is STILL looking for a new home:
I love watching them scamper!
Edited to add: I forgot to mention that I saw Ruby, my BO, catch her very first Japanese Beetle! She pecked at it as it flew into the run, and it flew out, but that smart little chickie stuck her neck right through the chain link and nailed it on the other side! Death to Japanese Beetles!
