10 weeks old and still growing

Bella, my pretty girl on the left. What elegant chickens these Golden Campines are, gold and black, golden neck and slate-blue feet.
Sophie, who will be re-named Omar if she is a he.

What a face.

Goldie my little eleganat cockerel.

Mira, she is a such a feisty little chick, but she is also very sweet and likes to hang out with me. She is still the smallest of the bunch.

Bella again.

Lucy to the right and Bianca on the left.

Bianca

Tobi is so far the only one of the chicks that comes to her name and will fly up on my arm when I call her.

Here Tippi grabbed the carton that came with the crickets, she ran with the piece of carton in her beak, but had to turn her head left and right to be able to see where she was going, it was really funny to watch her.

Bianca looking for more crickets. The box was the center of attention for two days, at which time the chicks destroyed it.

This picture shows how much bigger Sophie is compared to the rest of the chicks.
Pearl with a piece of tomato. One always knows when one of them has something special in their beak, they make quite some noise about it. It's really fascinating to listen to chickens and all the different sounds they make. It changes as they are getting more grown up too.

Tippi and Tobi, my Barred Leghorns.
