Chick Update.

It really is amazing how fast these little chickens are growing. They are fully feathered and really filling out. We have been giving them different treats daily. We gave meal worms, earth worms, crickets, watermelon, dandelions, grapes... the list goes on. They really seem to prefer anything alive! The will chase each other and truly go chicken crazy for a worm or cricket. It is already August and the chickens are 6 weeks old now.

Aaron made a new feeder for them and we have the larger waterer so we shouldn't need to purchase much else for them for the time being. Aaron has figured out the new coop plans and will be starting on that project soon enough. I also want to create some outdoor roosts for as well. I was thinking of some different types such as free standing roosts, corner roosts or even some ladder type roosts to lean against the fence for them in the shade. The free standing roost would also add more shade for them as an added benefit. I think I, or Aaron, will build a free standing roost with graduated heights and lattice running beneath the roosts to create some good shade.
