Our little chickies... in the crate on the back porch now. 3 weeks old already. They outgrew their first box already and were flying out of it. So, we wrapped the dog crate in screening to keep them from slipping through and gave them a new home. Added a few logs and a box for comfort with the moss in it, although they prefer to sleep in the mason jar most of the time. I don't understand it, but I guess it keeps them warm. We are watching to make sure that they aren't getting too big to get in there, don't want any stuck chicks.
If you look at the pictures from the end of April, New Additions you can really see how much bigger they are. They still love to get up on Lili's fingers though and perch. I wonder how long that will last. She loves it.
They seem to be enjoying exploring the big cage and all the different things in there to explore. And we are loving watching them, even Jack says 'oh so cute', which is awesome in his 3 year old voice.. :-)
Then hens and Kristoff still don't seem to be 'getting along' yet, but it's early still. Am hoping they will soon. Lili finally realized yesterday what having Kristoff could mean for the eggs and she is all excited! So for her sake, I'm definitely hoping some action goes on out there. Guess we'll be waiting and watching...
