New Peeps

We have chicks!
Twelve fluffy little peeps are our new science project.

We brought them home as day-old chicks and in one week we have already seen them grow and learn. Their little wing feathers are growing in and tail feathers are starting to sprout, too.

Today Josiah constructed a roost for them to climb/sit on at the end of the brooder. We showed them how to sit on it and by the end of the day the little ladies were climbing up there on their own. These girls are expected to earn their keep in a few months! Looking forward to fresh eggs from our own back yard!
