We are getting close to putting the chicks outside but it's still a little bit chilly out there so we've decided to wait a few more weeks. It's starting to smell like a zoo in our laundry room! Even with changing the paper and wood shavings frequently it's stinky!
On a beautiful day I captured these photos of the girls lunging for lettuce treats. They've been very happy sunning themselves on pretty days.
I think the girls are very happy with the sunshine and have been producing three eggs a day much more frequently.

I love your pictures! We have 30 chicks in a brooder box in our den right now. They are only a few days old so they don't stink yet. Yours already have distinguishing charteristics so have you named them?
Last year we incubated our own eggs and hatched 19 chicks. Predators got most of them early when we turned them out, so we're hoping for better luck this year. Most of the ones that did survive were roosters. We decided buying day old chicks that have been sexed is best when you don't want a batch of roosters.
We are in our fifth year of keeping chickens. These chicks bring our current flock to a total of 56.
