Henrietta fuzzy feet on the left is a white cochin.. .Doofiest of the three birds... very wobbly and spastic but loves to snuggle.... Buffy is a buff orpington biggest of the three birds, mild mannered and follows around Mo wherever she goes... and the leader of the pack Mo is a barred rock. Shes the feistiest of them all.. takes every opportunity she can to get into trouble and explore. How are your birds temperament?

SO FUNNY! I was just reading the other posts in this thread! I see that great minds think alike!! heheh Buffy!

Isabella is the Brown Leghorn - she (or he) seems to be curious and a little jumpy.
Lilly is the Easter Egger - is the runner in the bunch.
Roxanne is the Barred Plymouth Rock - she (or he) is also a curious little creature and will come to me more than the others.
Buffy is the Buff Orpington - she seems to be a little on the shy side but a little curious too.
Lacey is the Golden Laced Wyandotte - she seems to be a little more timid and dodge all the running and jumping of the others.
Honey is the Light Brahma - she either loves to jump around or she is a little jumpy. Either way...she spends more time 'in the air' than the others.

How exciting! Can't wait to hear more as they grow!
 
Well, I re-homed my peeps from their original brooder (storage tote) to their new home in the garage. The new brooder is 3 1/2 wide x 7 feet long and 3 feet tall. I don't have the top on it for the pictures, but the top has a large cut-out with wire over it so they are totally enclosed with the top on. I put some sand and a piece of sod on one end for them to play in. Seems like they are enjoying it so far. I crumbled up some mealworms and sprinkled over the sand and grass for them to scratch and dig in. Within an hour, a couple of them were dusting in the sand too. In the last picture, it looks like Honey (Light Bramha) is smiling a little...






 
Really nice Chick Inn. This will be plenty of space til they are old enough to move to permanent home. Those are some pampered pets!
