Chateau Chicken

Some older pictures... These are the girls as they first experienced the great outdoors. Dirt, as it turns out, is as much fun for chicks as it is for little kids. These are pictures from May 3, only a little more than a week after the earlier ones. Note how much their feathers have grown in.



Later, I had completed the chicken run, and gave them access to a much larger space, which they tore around with wild (well, domesticated) abandon:


After that, time for a little "down time."


And then there's the Chateau. The Chateau Chicken (pronounced "Shiken"). They were quite panicked about it initially, but seem to have settled in. You can see Dijon (the Ameraucana who always gets poop on her = Poupon = Dijon) peering out the front screen. (The cord is going to a lamp to warm things up a bit - they also really don't like the dark.)
