My little chickies are now 10 weeks old, 2 1/2 months already, hard to believe.  They are so big and so busy.  Today was coop cleaning day (not my favorite, I will admit), but 10 minutes and done, so I shouldn't complain.  Here is a picture of what a clean coop looks like, look quick because it won't stay this way for long.

Keeping the floor covered with pine shavings makes cleaning a snap, just rake it out and start over, LOL.

The chickens are beginning to get nicknames, and one is Ms. Bossy because wherever she goes, everyone runs to catch up....guess that's the way of the pecking order.  The good news about having your white chicken designated as Ms. Bossy is that you can FIND your other chickens because she is white and everyone always hangs with her....otherwise, I would never find the others, especially the "twins".  Now honestly, would YOU have found her under the wheelbarrow, if Ms. Bossy was not there?

As for the "twins", they really do look different from one another, sort of like real twins.  Ms. Souffle's feathers are much more colorful than Ms. Omelet, and Ms. Souffle holds her tail feathers in a neat wedge shape...hmmm, maybe she should be called Dorothy Hammel?  Wow, I need a life.

And the final nickname has to be "Legs" because Ms. Quiche certainly has some...I am afraid she is going to be a nine foot tall chicken if she doesn't stop growing.  But she is the most gentle and most friendly of the flock and always comes and eats out of my hand and comes when called.  She is finally becoming a young lady and is much more attractive than she was in her teens....

As a side-note, the yard is looking fantastic, no wonder the little chickies (I guess they need a new group name), are loving it too.

Bye from the coop.
