Eggs and chicks

Not a lot of new stuff is happening in the chicken pool. Just growing and eating. They get silly and run around chasing each other. I took a picture of some eggs we have gotten from our bigger hens. Aren't they pretty? Also is a picture of the chicks. They are getting to the long legged stage. They have about half their feathers now. They look like awkward teenagers.

I just wanted to let you see how big they have gotten.

2 weeks old

The chicks are 2 weeks old today. They have doubled in size and one hopped out of the pool. As you can see in the photo, we have added our mosquito net to keep them in. They are eating and drinking well. We have started adding apple cider vinegar to their water. You simply add 1 tsp. per quart of water. This is to keep them healthy and prevent parasites in their intestines. We also do this in our older chickens. This was another good tip we got out of the magazine Mother Earth News.
