This weekend was beautiful. We had a full week of rainy days and were rewarded by three days of sun.. Back to the rain *sigh* My goslings are nearly 3 weeks old (Buff Toulouse) and they can now go outside all day when the weather is this nice. The chickens avoid them for the most part. Their biggest threat is the broodies, who continually drop kick them when they come near. :gig

There are tons of place on our new property for the chickens to get some shade/protection. They love to hang out where old fencing has been sitting for years.. Ever since my fiance sold her horses.

The silky broody moms hung out in a fenced area.. to save my goslings from their evil kick boxing moves.

No matter how nice it is out - these guys always hang near the woods. The chicks are not so much chicks anymore. They are now 13 weeks. Beautiful group. I am in love with all the colours :love

The two boys. Out of 10 chicks I purchased straight run, only 2 were roos.
