So ugly they're cute

[AccidentalFarm]

Snapped a pic of the babies all snuggled in for the night...They are almost 5 weeks now and so scruffy looking it's actually cute. Thought I'd share:

Isn't it funny how they stretch out to sleep?

howcome they're different colours?

 

[AccidentalFarm]

They are dyed.

Lots of feed stores sell dyed chicks at Easter time. Once they're fully feathered, you would never know they started life so brightly colored.
These are 3 White Leghorns and a Rhode Island Red.

They are so cute stretched out.
