"Moving on Up"  Hard to believe it, but my little chickies have grown so much in just over a week.  When I first brought them home, they could crawl inside the feeder, but as you can see, that is no longer the case.  Check out our old home, we were getting into quite a few conflicts due to the lack of space.
As you can see, our new home is huge!  We love it, and in a few short minutes, we were chattering, eating, drinking and well, you know.
The "claw" has chosen and helped relocate my babies to their new home.  Along with moving day, came the dreaded "behind check" and sure enough, two of us had to suffer the humiliation of having our tiny backsides washed because we were carrying a little too much baggage, "pasted up" in chicken lingo.  Once the bathing was done, both the little girls ran to the feeder and began to eat like there was no tomorrow...I guess having a way to empty their stomachs made them hungry!
At first we thought this might be too big, But the girls have been taking flying lessons by running the length of the box and hopping into the air and spreading our wings...hope they don't jump clear out!

I am sure it won't be long until even this huge home will be too small, better get busy on building that coop.

  1. Love the chicks new digs, however, there walls seem a bit bland. Have you thought of wallpaper? Maybe in a farm style decor? or cut some windows so they can see the real world too? Just amazing how fast they grow. Glad everything came out "in the end" too.
