It seems like only yesterday they were tiny little balls of fluff dancing around in their brooder.
It has only been about 10 days and they are already growing real feathers.
It has been very interesting to see what color their real feathers are going to look like. These chickens are pretty much just mutts, so none of them look like any breed I've ever seen before. If you look really closely you can see the beginings of tail feathers too.
I am happy to report that all seem to be growing nicely and have been very active in their little makeshift brooder. Once they have a couple more weeks under their belts I will start to put them outside during the day in what I call the baby chicken box where they will learn more about this great big world. Eventually they will have free run of the second pen until they get big enough to go in with the big chickens.
