Ok a few more pics. Close up since I took out a turkey carcass for them

Babies have learned to take the goodies and run if they want to eat them. He ate the whole piece then stood there like he was amazed he actually swallowed it

Momma Lucy trying to break up the big piece & keep it from Stella. Edie just likes to photo bomb pictures

4 of the babies. From left to right I'm guessing boy, maybe girl?, boy & grey as a girl. The 5 th was off eating the big piece. I love the little feathered legs & feet

Licking the plate clean

When do the kids go to their new homes?

No idea. When they get a little bigger. I figure best if they roosting before they go. My co worker who is going to take them doesn't care when I give them to him. And since I've had no complaints from the neighbors or the town I'll keep them a little longer. They are way to much fun to watch. I think my favorite is when they zoom from one end of the yard to the other. They look like little airplanes trying to take off as the flap their wings and zooooooom across the yard. and they are super quick

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!!

The chickens are doing well and we have some wonderful chicks growing out. I am swamped and have little time to be on the net much.


Just a few of the Orpington grow outs.

They all look like girls to me in these pictures. A closer shot of their combs would be easier to see I bet.

@aoxa

You are the "chicken gender queen".... Seems like every time you are right.

Did you see my comparative photo of "Mister" and the new kid at 9 weeks? Do you still say the new kid is female?
