Chickens Grow Quickly

I brought these chicks home February 21. IMG_7391

By last week they had outgrown their dog crate and needed to get out into the chicken house. I left them in the crate in the chicken house for a few days, hoping that would help the big chickens accept them. I checked on them the first night out of the crate and saw them roosting on top of it. IMG_8770

I took the dog crate out today because they are now roosting on the perches. Here are their two-month-old portraits.IMG_8862

I need to find some names. So far this is White Chicken.

Brown Chicken.

They are actually fairly tame since I've been handling them since the first day. Brown Chicken was very interested in my phone and kept pecking at it.
