The chicks have been here over a week now and are doing great. They are growing quickly and getting their true feathers, little by little.

This little guy thought he was really cool, ruling the roost from atop his feeder, until he realized he didn't know how to get down.

The Buff Orpington's are so cute! But, since they're to be my future dinner, I'm trying not to get too attached.

Thanks so some advice from a friend (you know who you are ;), we've switched from newspaper and paper towels to a paper-lined floor topped with pine shavings. It seems to be working much better and the smell is not nearly as noticeable. Thanks, dear friend!
