| Me, feeding three chicks in a saucer, 10/20/10 = 18 days ago |
The peeps - that is, the six that Pretty Face refused to adopt - have graduated to a cage on the the screened-in porch. The other three remain in the little chicken condo with Pretty Face. All the peeps are growing beautiful colorful feathers which change on a daily basis; they are growing up! The six that were indoors with us are still very human-friendly. When we open the cage to give food or water, they fly out and onto our arms and shoulders. Yesterday, we had out of town visitors who got to witness them doing just that! It was very humorous; they ALL flew onto Moshe... He was covered with little chickens.
A couple weeks ago three chicks could stand on one saucer and eat their mash (as per photo to left). Today, one chick would be too much for a saucer.
And, so it goes. The cycle of life. Fast. Way too fast for lil' ol' me! Before ya' know it, they will be out in the new chicken coop, providing us with more eggs and more peeps. I only hope that they continue to enjoy our company the way they do now.
Shalom, y'all - Twyla
