Pepper and Penny have been very busy recently, eating, sleeping, scratching, peeping... but mostly growing! You can see the difference in them and how much they are starting to actually look like real chickens rather then cutesy little Easter chicks. Photo number one is of their first home out of the egg, when they started to hatch we rushed out to town to buy the heat lamp and put wood shavings in a plastic box, which WAS being used for school work stuff in the sun room!
This photo is of Pepper when he hatched and had dried out a bit.
This is Pepper and Penny all dried out and a couple of days old.
Pepper and Penny are starting to get their adult feathers on their wings in this photo!
Pepper and Penny in their day time home- the newly built rabbit run which Peter is very happy to share funnily enough! It also just happens to be right next to the hens... and their mother! They no longer need a heat lamp so at night time they go to bed in the sun room.
Pepper is growing fast- he's already getting feathers on his tail and all over the rest of his body!
Great post Grace. It's cool being able to see the chicks from the very beginning to them starting to grow up. I love the photo's and as always you write really well.
ReplyDeleteHope they're doing well and treating you nicely!
