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!

Aw, they sure a adorable either way! :D

Wow ,they look great!!!!!!!!!! :D
