Four New Chicks Growing Up (PIX)

[Rebbetzin]

My four new chicks are getting about old enough to lay in a few weeks!! One actually did the "dance" when I went to pick her up today!

Here they are on the 2nd level of the new chicken pen. They are very brave!

Here you can see them eating wheat grass from the suet feeder. With one of the Barred Rocks trying to get some too.

And here they are taking a communal dust bath.

We've had some nice warm weather so far the past few days. It is to get cold tomorrow and maybe even some rain!

Beautifull birds! Ohhh, the eggs will come soon! Mine have stopped, since we are getting the "big freeze" here.

I have not had any eggs in at least 6 weeks. I hate to buy eggs now! My husband threatens to eat the chickens when they stop laying!! (He is teasing, he likes to feed them weeds these days. )

Luckily, Im getting atleast four eggs these days. Some of them havent stopped for winter, most of them have though.
