My Mom has wanted chickens for a long time and she finally got them. We got the little balls of down on Monday and they are the cutest things ever . They're so soft and very fast when they don't want to be held. They'll fall asleep in your hands and they try to jump out of their cage but each time they hit the wall and fall back down none have hurt themselves though. Here are some pictures of them.
They are so cute. But they will jump off your hand into they're cage from a height of almost a foot!
To teach them how to drink you have to dunk their heads in the water same with the food.
I love their little wings and their determination to fly over the wall out into the world. They spend the night in the basement. When they fall asleep they fall forward on they're faces and then the back comes down and they're asleep. I will keep you updated on them.
Here's one of them on the on the wall of the coop. When they jump out they will walk around in the kitchen peeping very loud to let us know that "I'm out!" They'll all be asleep and one will walk right through them and wake them all up.
They love to eat and drink and then they sleep and then do it all over again. They get pretty annoying after they peep loud and clear. Think of doing school and then you here a very loud PEEP. They are now in the mudroom with our dog. They are O.K with the dog but our dog is scared of them. That's about it for now.
