I can’t believe they’ve grown this much! Where did the time go? That cute, fluffy stage is winding down fast. At three weeks old the chicks are looking pretty gangly. This early adolescent age is cute in it’s own way. It’s fun to see the feathers coming and get a sense of how they’ll look as adults.

Golden-laced wyandotte…
Buff Orpington…
Silver-laced wyandotte…

Best friends for life!
That’s how we raise them here~
Enjoy everything!
