Hello from the Girls

The chickens are about 3 weeks old now. Aren't they huge?!
They have definitely moved out of the fuzzy chick stage and are quickly becoming awkward teenagers. Until now, the barred rock, Jemima (on the roost), has been the bossy one, but the other girls are speedily gaining weight on her and the dynamics of the brood are changing. Their wing and tail feathers are filling out and with the rate they are growing, they will soon need to be making the move to the big house...a.k.a. "The Welshly Arms Hotel".
