One of the Marans is having fun going in and out, in and out.

Thank you.

They are growing up so well!

I'm a few days late with the 4-week evaluations. They're getting big -- with the Marans particularly being sizeable and solid and the Langshans being almost ridiculously tall and leggy.

The Dominiques are the boldest, the Langshans the most skittish and upset about being held while the Marans are the calmest.

Photos follow, breed-by-breed.

Blue, who is so very well feathered compared to her half-naked sisters.

I forgot to mention, they were off heat for the first time last night. I would have taken them off earlier, but was concerned about the 2, semi-naked Langhans with temps in the low 60's. Now that it's back over 70 at night I pulled the heat lamp.
