Thanks!

And cluck-cluck, I've never seen them fly, they do some cute little hops and jumps but no flying

Oh that'd be good news for me, don't want them hard to catch like my leghorns, I'm just to darn old now, ROFL.

So my delivery was delayed, and I'm finding I'm terribly anxious for them to get here even so I have some chicks just hatch, LOL I sure hope the trip is kind to them and that they arrive safe and sound

I really do appreciate your sharing photos of your beautiful birds, Natural Eye, are you planning on breeding them? Have they laid any eggs yet? And if so, have you checked for fertility?

Yah, my poor baby leghorns, they get the run of the yard in the day, but then I have to bring them in at night, and it's quite comical watching me try to catch them! Gosh, building their coop is taking way too long! It'll be easier when their coop and run are all set up!

Even so I'm not supposed to, I'd really like to keep my sultan bantams in cages in the patio. Then I wouldn't have to build a roof, LOL, but also, it's more protected from the weather. They could roam around the yard right next to it (which is fenced in from when we had a pet rabbit) We shall see.....

Someday, when I'm rich.... yah! LOL

Still, even if they're just white, I adore these little buggers and can't wait for my chickies to arrive! They should have my order this week, least they better!!! LOL They said they had 3 out of the 12 I ordered last week, and did I want them sent? I of course said no, I want all of 'em! LOL. Friday... another Friday to wait for... Ugh!

Why are you chasing them? Chickens will put themselves to bed at night. I'd bet if you wait until they are ready, they will line right up for you. Mine would line up and wait until we opened the door, and then come walking right in. Two separate flocks did this.......
