They are! One of my Barred Rock chicks is always over eager when I open the brooder cover and attempted to fly up to me. Thankfully the brooder is deep but not for long I'm afraid! Will post pics soon!And I bet flying everywhere!
We would love some photos when you get a chance - some of us are baby crazy
Awlll, she is looking gorgeous!
wars update: 
Well no dry ice, RATZ!Rat
Failed first mission: There is NO and I mean NO dry ice to be found within a reasonable driving distance to me. I called every grocery store, Walmart, tractor supply, rural king, gas stations, and even the fire department as it is used in fire fighting sometimes, none to be had. I was so disappointed. The only way I can get it is to drive 2 hrs away to get it. Deep sigh
Down but not defeated: We pulled up the picnic table top we had buried under the coop floor to help keep larger predators from burrowing into the coop. Under that we found a nest and destroyed it, killed all the babies we could find. We then flooded the tunnels.
Fall back until reinforcements arrive: I have ordered an electrocution type trap and will bait it. I suspect I will have to resort to poison in tamper proof bait boxes as they are so numerous and today we saw several generations worth of them.
I will end with one word: ICK
Exactly that!Well no dry ice, RATZ!

Oxygen supply companies have been known to have it. Gas and welding companies also
