I spent most of Saturday morning upgrading the chicken pen for the babies.  I set up a pop-up tent and created a separate pen for them (babies and adults don't mix well.  They need to be big enough to defend themselves from the older chickens before they are turned out together.) They've gotten so they look like chickens now - not quite so "scruffy teenagers".

They seemed to like sunbathing in the dirt.So cute cuddled up together....

Cindy M was out of town for spring break, so I got custody of the chicks for the week.  They are now "teenagers" and are not cute fluffy chicks.

  

The cats love hanging out with them - the chicks?  Not so much.....

 On the weekend, I let them hang out on the back patio for a while as I clean their cage.

Cindy has the chicks now - and they are out of the incubator. 

 

She also picked up some more chicks - Welsummer chicks.She's put these in with the Araucana chicks - since we don't know haw many, or even if any - are female.  We were both hoping to get some Easter Egger chicks, but all chicks are in high demand right now and go fast when a shipment comes in.  The Welsummer breed is a good layer and tolerates heat, so should be a good addition to my flock.
