Growing like weeds

[Kanga77510]

We've had the babies a week, and I've already noticed a difference in them. They're taller, have more feathers, and are just bigger! Feathers are developing on the wings and tails; I'm guessing we'll have two males and one female. I'll try to take pics tomorrow you all can see the growth. When they hit the awkward teenage weeks and start molting, they can go outside right?

oh snap, so is mine :\\ they look like still babies, but now have a wing of steel since feathers are coming in

I have some two week olds being raised by a mama hen in with the rest of the flock. They have spent the whole day outdoors running around since day 3. I never see them get under her for warmth during the day.

Here's some pics taken just a few minutes ago. It's hard to find the one I think is a hen in there. I can find "her" when there's no camera. The wing feathers are coming in nicely and they're taking on a darker red color. They're still cute, might not be so when they hit the teenage phase.

First picture to the right is a hen I believe as the tail feathers are longer. Just my opinion.
