I cant believe how fast our baby chicks have grown! It has taken awhile but they seem to be finally getting used to us! We let them out of the chicken run in the morning if we are planning to be home and they love to peck around looking for things to eat. This morning they were on the deck eating our leftover porridge we put out for the dog.
A few weeks ago we started to wonder if Polly might actually be a rooster. As he gets older it gets more and more obvious! He is super agressive to other animals if he thinks they are trying to get the hens, and the comb on the top of his head is way bigger than all the other chickens. We are kind of sad about this because when he starts to crow we will either have to eat him or send him to a new home. And since they are pretty much pets I don't think the girls or me will want to eat him when the time comes!
The last two weeks have been so warm! I am having a hard time balancing indoor and outdoor chores, it's just so nice to be outside, so we are getting alot done in the yard and some days not enough done in the house. The girls have played in the pool a couple of times, and since we haven't had rain for the last two weeks tonight we had to put the sprinkler on the front lawn, which Hannah thought was very fun! It will be so nice to hopefully get hooked onto the town water line so we can have unlimited water.
