The Chickens are nearly grown.

   The chickens are getting so big. They are so fun to watch. If one finds a bug or blade of grass, it takes off running and all the rest chase it. They are so entertaining.



  This one had just pecked at Nora's face. That's what the weird expression is for.





   All the colors of the rainbow.......Sort of.


     These two found a little depression in the dirt and used it for a bathtub.



     There was lots of scratching and fluffing the dirt. 

 


     They get to be free range during the day now, and they love it. 

 



    He's avoiding the photographer.
 


     They are pretty independent now, and don't much care to be held and petted, but they can still be lured close with food. 

 


     Since we have mostly roosters, there are quite a few stand-offs every day. Everybody's a tough guy....

 


    She loves her chickens.


     The turkens are getting cuter, they've grown a patch of feathers on the front of their necks.  I don't really know how much bigger they need to get before we butcher, I guess a few more weeks. I'm really dreading that part of this experience.
