well the chickies are getting bigger...
and well..more active!
milly has been practicing her "flying" and hopping up on the feed/water-er and quite frankly, its not working in the brooder box.
so today i set up the playpen upstairs
i dont have a secure top for it, so im going to see if i can use the 2 spare baby gates to make some kind of kitty proof top, and if so they will be moved in fully...
if not however they will spend their nights in the smaller brooder and their days in the playpen in the center of family activity. Im also hoping this move will increase thier confidence and make them a little less jumpy.
there sooo cute in their new playpen, ive given them a 2 x 4 on the floor as a starter roost, as they get a little better at roosting ill move it a few inches off the ground, the little ones are still happy on the ground, but the bigger girls seem to be enjoying the roost.
Digging is the new pastime lol, they seem to LOVE digging through the shavings, mabe there just searching for the newspaper underneath, gotta have something to read lol.
the older girls are in their dinosaur/scruffy stage and simply look funny, there also flapping hopping at and chasing each other, obviously establishing hierachy.
the little ones are joining in the games too, running and flapping as if the extra propulsion will get them some lift there sooo silly!
new pictures comming soon :)
