The chicks are eating, poohing, drinking and sleeping machines now. They like to play and take great pleasure at pecking on my clothing while I interact with them in their pen. The nice thing about having a pen and coop that we can move is that they get some fresh greens and new territory to keep them from getting bored. Development wise, the feathers are pretty solid now, their legs are deeper yellow, longer and more sturdy than a few weeks ago. I think we got a good bunch with this group. However, the one mystery chicken is actually a Buckeye. Yep! Noisy, trilling, adventurous Bucky, the Buckeye. I'm fairly certain that she's a she, now that we have it figured out. She's bigger than all the rest, for now. But the Orloffs are always a slow developing group of birds, so they will catch up with Bucky soon enough. The muffs and beards are fully developed now, and their combs are starting to get the pink on.
Here are some of their photos.
