Baby has never been named since she was the chic for our grand baby on the way. I can happily say that the new grand baby to be is a girl and she is called Poof. How she came about that name is a very long story but Poof it is and so Poof is now Baby's new name. We call her Poof Baby.
All the girls are fine, continue to grow, but at a slower rate. They are all getting some red coloring on their faces, combs and little waddles. Their favorite time of day is free range time when they become serious hunters of bugs, spiders and worms. Of course they still chase each other around if someone gets an especially tasty leaf, they don't seem to be able to realize that there are more of the same leaves out there. (Tiny brains). Their favorite treats are still strawberries, grapes and cucumbers, zucchini is not so much of a favorite any more.
The time involved in taking care of chickens isn't really that much but anyone thinking about raising chickens should take into account the extra amount of time you will spend just watching them do what they do. Free entertainment and in fact they pay you by laying eggs.
The Black & White chick in these photos is Poof Baby. She is a Barred Rock.
