They Grow Up So Fast...

On Thursday we moved the chicks outside. It was long overdue, the house was smelling like a barn and the chicks were done being in their (bigger) inside "brooder". So we scrubbed down the upstairs part of the coop, laid down fresh sawdust, and set them out into their new home.

Here they are in all their awkward teenage cuteness.

From Left to Right: Buff Polish, Rhode Island Red, White Crested Polish, Buff Polish, and Ameraucana. We're pretty certain the 2nd Buff Polish (2nd from the right in the top photo) is gonna be a rooster.
