They grow so fast

[ChickenChick46]

I've had my bantam chicks for exactly one week today. I cannot believe how fast they are growing!

The buff still thinks it owns the place and loves to strut around the brooder. The Sebright is a loud little thing, and loves to perch on top of the brooder and peep loudly, causing me to run in the room in a panic to see that nothing at all is wrong.

The OEGB is still smaller than the others, but growing quickly nonetheless. It keeps up with its brooder mates and doesn't seem to notice its size. And the lavender baby has such amazingly cute feathered little feet and a sweet, laid-back temperament.

I am loving being a chicken mama, and I'm so ready to know their genders so I can actually give them real names! I just wanted to share my babies at our one week mark to keep up with their progress.

They sure do grow fast! And they're all absolutely adorable!

Just a few more weeks until you'll be able to guess genders. It'll go by quick.

Thank you so much! I've fallen totally in love with them in the week they've been here. I think they know it too, lol.

I don't doubt that! I can't believe it's already been a week. Time flies!

They are so easy to fall in love with, aren't they?!

They really are. I'll go in there and check on everything, then leave the room and close the door. Then within a minute, I'll hear the Sebright. I always know who it is because that one is super noisy. I'll rush in to make sure nothing happened, and it'll be peeved on the brooder plate, just staring up at me. I think they're training me, lol.

Sounds like they are doing a great job at training you! But seriously, they do love to scare the heebie-jeebies out of you just to see you come running. They laugh at our expense I'm sure!
