arent they so cute!!!!! theya re realy starting to get a hang of the whole flying thing. but i have yet to catch it on film!! they seem to be camera shy!!

Aww! They went from being adorable little fluff-balls to being such beautifully-developed chickens! :D

Ha ha ha ha ha!! hubby sya they are in their vulture looking stage!! he can be so mean!! i think they are just adorable!! I play with them all the time, hoping when they are older they will be nice chickens!! i have run into too many mean chickens on farms, and i dont want that!! :D

They look great!! Are you going to be putting them outside? Do they do their busness all over your carpet??

Wow that's a lot of chickens!! I do hope you post pictures of the coop!! I'm sure they will love being outdoors!! :D

*tear**tear* Oh man, they do grow up fast http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ing_smiley.jpg

HA HA HA You guys are so great!! I will post pics of the coop, as soon as hubby finishes the last final touches!! he is putting in the nesting boxes right now!! I am so excited!! and yes i cant wait till they start laying eggs!! If you cant tell these are my very first chickens!! I wanted to get guinea hens, but hubby said we should start with chickens first, then move to some guineas!! woo hoo!!! :D

They're awesome! I can't wait to get my chickens. I'll hopefully be getting them next spring.

Awww! They sure do grow up fast! The 50 chicks I bought can already fly and they look like mini chickens! Our chicks we incubated not too long ago already have most there feathers. :eek:

Lol! I'm sure it will. :) Our chicks stay in the basment for about 4 weeks then they stay in the tack room in a little caged in spot until they can fly. Then they rule the whole tack room... when we think they are ready, they go with the other poultry.

wow how fast.

I didn't realize chickens grow up so quickly! That makes me feel terrible for the chicks at the petting zoo in Fort Wayne. They must only be a week or so old! Some children are NOT very nice to them, and there isn't anyone employed by the zoo observing them.

Sorry, rant. Your chickens sure have grown!
