They are all nubbly with feather shafts starting to grow in.

Heidi the ultra squirmy fawn and white

Mary, very much the runt, but very busy and healthy

Stella

Stella says HI!

What cuties...yours are just a little older than mine at the moment... Seeing these pics reminded me of just how fast they do grow....

They are just eating chick chow, spinach and peas with the occasional clump of clover dug up out of the yard.

Heidi, the fawn and white, is HUGE, I'm wondering if she is going to stay a she or become Heinrich. No great trauma if she is a he. Right now they are still baby peeping so I'll have to wait for the voice change to see what she is.

Last night they got booted out of the brooder into the outside duck house by an emergency with my husbands Japanese chickens. They seem just fine, not even sitting under the heat lamp. If it's nice this weekend I'll let them out into their run, for now they are locked in their house peering out the wire door.
