Baby Chicks

This picture was taken at our front door, when the chicks were 2-3 weeks old. I just found it while i was trying to load the pictures I took on Wednesday.

I have been meaning to add these pictures for AGES.

I'll do them from the start, of 'Lee Loo' sitting on the egss the day the first chickens hatched. I saw the first chicken at 11:30am on the 9-2-11. It was a little black chick, with a white dot on the right side of his beak. I called it Terrence. It took until the next morning to see the other chick's. 8am we see chick's 2 and 3. They were yellow babies, Alira named them 'Little one' and 'Cherry'. At 1pm that same day we saw chick 4&5 another black chick, and a very fair grey/yellow chick. Alira named the black chick 'Wired' and she named the grey chick 'pin-pin'

The chicks spent a lot of time in the yard with us, the dogs were so kind to them. Then at about 3 weeks old I moved them down to the pen. They were ALL getting very annoying and poo-ing on the decks etc.

Once the chicks were a bit bigger, it was hilarious to see the chicks all try to get under their mum, she had to spread herself fairly thinly. Now the two biggest chicks are roosting. But the smaller 3 chicks still lay with their mum.

My prediction is that at least 3 of them are Roosters, maybe even 4!
