They grow up so fast.

As someone who never really liked chickens  (even when living on a ranch and being responsible for feeding them when I was 15) I am having a lot of fun seeing their different personalities emerge.

Lupin, the white leghorn, is the most friendly and inquisitive.  I think she’d be the one I could teach to play the piano for food.   BAH!   Clearly, that is not going to happen.

Nobody could have told me they’d be this entertaining.    I put a dowel across the inside of their brooder to create a roost bar about 8 inches off the floor, and they are very funny to watch as they launch themselves up to land on it  and then off in wild directions from atop it.    I am patiently working to get a good action shot of this madcap flap.   So far I just have blurrrr.
