Our little flock arrived via Chickenhill and the US Postal Service about 3 weeks ago. We wanted 3 and all in different colors and all hens so Tisha kept them until they were 7 weeks old. They spent the first 2 weeks in their coop getting used to home and then I cobbled a little enclosure together so they could experience the out of doors without us having to do a big chicken roundup each night to get them back in their safe coop.
This is the first time they saw their door come open. Juanita is our Silver Laced and is the smallest. She rules the roost, gets all the good treats and is the bravest by far...
Oprah is checking it out...
Finally gets a boost.....this was after about 10 minutes of neck craning.
Juanita is already down on the ground being a little pecker....
Ginger is a Partridge and is more shy than O so another boost....
Here they played in the make shift run until dark.....then we had a small roundup because they were going to sleep outside. That would be a no no in our raccoon invested area. It wasn't until the 3rd night that all traipsed up the ramp into their coop.
