The chicks have grown a lot probably quadrupled in size. And have lost their cute fuzzy little chickiness lol (invented word)... I have never been around chickens very much but find them very interesting little creatures.. They have an amazing amount of curiosity and wonderful personalities. I have to fight the urge to intervene when they start to quarrel with each other but the “pecking order” is actually a useful and fair tool in deciding the social order.. None of the chicks take it personally and seem to accept their lot in life.. And the squabbling is very brief.
I have purchased the supplies to make a little run for them so they can enjoy the outdoors more and we can get them out of the living room. Hopefully, that project will get done in the next couple of days….here is an updated picture of Ruby at 4 weeks. She is a Rhode Island Red.
