Raising Chicks has been a Joy

I have 8 white leghorns and 2 exchequer leghorns. 7 of the 8 I adopted. They are all really sweet. They follow me all over. I do have to laugh at my new girls, they will come over to me and squat. I just scratch the spot above their feathers and they fluff up and walk away. I guess they think I'm their rooster now that we lost ours. They are so much fun to hang with. My very first leghorn hen is so spoiled and she is always trying to get in my house.
She is the queen.

Your girls look so pretty. They grow up so fast, don't they?

So, this chicken-- do ya see the light cord up there? I have pulled it so there is no slack-
because one of the chicks likes to get up there and try to roost on it----- So last night I go out to close the back window and see the light swing-- Yep HahahahLololo 2 of them managed to get up there Holy Cow!! I had to put the fordable pin on top of the nesting boxes to keep them from sleeping on them. silly hens.

Haha no, I adopted 7 hens and the hen in the pic got into a squabble with them through the chicken wire. They tore off a piece of her wattle. So I sprayed her with Blukote. The new hens have Blukote on them too, in different places to tell them apart.
