They Grow Up So Fast

They grow up so fast. The chickens, not NorthernToddler. Just a few weeks ago, these six chicks were living in the brooder in the garage. One week ago, they moved to an isolated area in the coop. Two days ago, they were released into general population - and got schooled on the finer arts of being a chicken by the older ladies. There has been some squabbling, beat-downs, and hesitation to step outside on the part of the younger ones, but things are working themselves out.

NorthernDaddy went out tonight to close up the coop, and this is what he saw when he stepped inside - all six of the little ones roosting just like the old hens. Aren't they cute?
