Ahh chickens...

   Well,.. just as I had promised I posted the first four pictures of the chicks along with the date the picture was taken. You will also see some other interesting pictures. This especially includes the picture of the poop. This morning, as I was holding Jeeby, she pooped on my arm leading my mother to take a picture of it. It was actually much worse than was shown in the picture, because the majority of it fell on to the floor. Gross! But I suppose this is the consequence for trying to raise chicks. It has been so much fun raising these little ones, however, it has still been quite a hassle. Between constant chirping, pooping, and "feed me now!", I have had two huge responsibilities on my hands. 
    Pelo was around one month old when we bought her so she is now old enough to be placed outside during the day and night. During the night, Pelo is actually placed in the chicken house with Psyche in order to be kept away from dangerous weather and animals. The babies are almost fully feathered meaning they too are getting ready to be on their own, with Psyche as a companion. We have read that if you are introducing new chicks to the rest of your flock of chickens, that you must wait until the chicks are fully feathered. When introducing them, it said to wait until the older chickens are asleep on their perch, then you simply place the new chickens in the roost beside them. That way, when the chickens wake up they will accept the new chickens. We will be trying this soon, and I am crossing my fingers hoping that it will work and Psyche will accept the new babies.
