Tonight I locked the big ones out and let the chickies be free in the run. Lots of flying and scratching around.

The two pompoms seemed to have the most fun, and disco the bellbottom chick had a ton of fun too.

They made it to the other side, attacking the bush and chicknick table

Bab almost made it onto the "bench" of it but I moved too quickly and she scooted off.
All in all it was 15-20 minutes and they had a blast, Bab is already having to whip her head around to see so she had difficulties getting back in the brooder. I think it's because she was busy pecking the fence so got left behind by the rest and then freaked out.

Hahaha oh they are too cute

Maybe time for a haircut, I need to do Betty, I hate to do it but she needs the sides trimmed bad. She will end up with just a Mohawk type hairdo.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am mom does not take a active interest in naming the chickens. She likes uncommon names. She is also the reason why we will probably never actively seek out to have a bay horse. Everyone has a bay horse. If you have saw one bay horse you have saw them all is her mentality. That and red is her favorite color. I like some uncommon names as well. I swear the best name I ever heard was given to a grey standardbred mare years ago. This mare won it all for several years at the horse shows in open pacing. Her name, "White Trash". That was just pure genius. She has since been retired and now a broodmare. I bet though her owner wishes she was still showing. Actually I would love to have a good standardbred myself this weekend. Our next horse show, huge paybacks. Open pacing, $2000 with $1,500 going to the winner. Considering it only costs $20.00 to enter that class, someone is going to walk away very happy. There has actually been a lot of added money donated to most of the classes guaranteed. By Wednesday the show bill will be posted. Dad prefers not to show himself. He just enjoys riding. Dirt is ready for Country Pleasure and a few other classes. Mom is going to kick his butt if he does not enter him this upcoming show. Rosie and Russ will not be showing. Age is catching up to him and he is having some soundness issues that have been plaguing him for about 8 months now. It is breaking Rosie's heart but the time to retire Russ is at hand.

Bay horses are my fav! Eap if they don’t have white feet or face markings.

Reenie (registered name Sonoma) - Born Kentucky, imported here when she was 4. No white markings

King Solomon Arab x thoroughbred- Cairo, Egypt - 3 white feet no face markings. He was a successful race horse in his youth. He is almost 30 here and still ready to run! I rode him bareback in the desert, nice little horse.

*Afaf and her foal, she is a mare imported from Egypt. The asterisk in front of her name shows she is ‘imported’.

Indy - POA stallion his base colour is bay his Appaloosa pattern is a blanket.

Your sebright: rose combs pink early. Growthbis what you're looking for. Watch the wattles. If those start growing, you have a boy. Halloween theme: nightmare before Christmas characters....

The chickies survived their first night outside. Everyone was let out at 7:30 this morning. As a extra special treat I got a rake full of grass clippings from yesterday and scattered in the coop. They also got some left over rice. I then proceeded to have my first cup of coffee in the coop with them this morning. I guess it is time to completely break down the brooder, I have no excuse to leave it set up. Little devils, I missed their soft chatter last night.

Hmmm, I think the better statement would have been:

"Mom (aka Rebecca) survived the Chickies' first night outside/in the coop."

It can be hard to let them go - no different than 'empty nest syndrome' with parents when their kids leave - but in this case they just 'moved next door'
