7 Weeks and growing

My Chicks are 7 weeks old now, and just last night, for the very first time, they all marched into their chicken house at 8 pm when it started to get dark. I still put the crate and some light in there, but it's a start. Previously they would not go in there, but all huddle up somewhere near the fence. I still bring them in at night as it gets too cold, last night was the first time that the temperature didn't drop below 50, so if that trend holds up they will finally be able to live outside.

Pearl, noticing that the other chicks have run the other way


Tippi resting in a damp spot, she will actually lay in a puddle and kick out her legs from under her.

Goldie the cockerel, he is growing some wattles now too, they are already flapping around a little, I wonder when he will start crowing

Tippi doing a leg and wing stretch, all the chicks have done that from the day they came here, but this is the first time I got a good shot of it.
