The babies are 3 weeks old now. They still seem tiny to me, but then these are momma's actual babies so they are not going to be big chickens. I have a feeling that one of them is a little cockeral, its taking the longest to feather out and only in the last few days started to get tail feathers. At a week old 3 of them had tail feathers. Yesterday was the first time I officially let them out of the kennel for some outside time. The little trouble makers went everywhere and they can fly. The fun game is to give Dirt a heart attack by trying to hop on his back. I think he had nightmares last night of little demons flying at him. I took some pics today while they were out playing and also got a few of daddy Tuffnut as well.
