Before and After

Amanda's chicks are now a month old and asserting more independence. They wander farther away from their mother now.

This chick has little cheek puffs, suggesting that it could be an Araucana. She is the friendlier of the two.

This chick is part Brown Leghorn and has a large comb. I'm fairly sure that it is a rooster.

Don't chickens grow fast? I can't believe how soon it is that they are old enough to lay eggs.

They do grow fast. The hen will be laying in mid-December!
