New World

I am sure you have heard the old expression "chickens wake up in a new world everyday". Well it is true. The little chicks never cease to amaze me. They are growing every day and some are starting to be the leaders. I am a little surprised that it is a couple of the Americauna chicks who are the boldest. They come right up to me when I get into their enclosure to help add feed to the feeder. They don't get close enough to touch, but I think they are defending their territory. I had one jump into the water dish while I was in there yesterday. Fortunately it was empty because I had washed it out and was getting ready to give them fresh water. It has been rainy here for a couple of days and the chicks don't seem to mind too much. Of course they are in a covered pen and don't get wet. It will be about 2 more months before we start getting eggs from these new chicks. I am still excited about seeing eggs with green or blue shells. I will definitely be posting pictures when that happens.
