A few weeks ago I got my chicks. They were 5 weeks old and are now 9-10 weeks old. I love my 4 girls. The barred Rock Katniss is the brave one, the buff orph Buttercup is the docile friendly one, the NH red Cinna is timid but once she decides to be friendly or nosy she likes to perch on my arm. The black Austro Rue is my most timid one, she will let me pet her and if the other girls are on my lap she will come up too. They are out in the coop full time now after spending a couple weeks of nights in the house with us. They seem to be quite content. I still like to spend a little time with them each day. I went out to sit with them in their run the other day and ended up with a lap full of chick. they all decided to hop up on my lap and take a nap..which ended when Rue pooed on me. Katniss seems to be the queen of the pack. She has to be the highest at all times and likes to try to sit on people's heads so she can survey her queendom/coop and run. She is quickly learning the word NO! People think chickens are stupid and in some ways they are pretty dumb, but in other ways they are smart. Loving my girls while they are still little. They are really starting to look like chickens now. I think I heard my first cluck yesterday instead of the little chicky peeps. Cant wait till they start laying!
