Chicks Update: Day 50

The chicks keep getting bigger. We got some scratch corn for them so they would view us coming around them as “treat time”. Now all the chicks love it when I come into the coop and most come running. Then they stand around waiting for me to get the corn out.

Here is Elwood. She is the most shy of the bunch and will stand in the back when the others are getting corn. We aren’t sure whether it is that she is shy or just dumb. Maybe a combination of both? Oh well, we think she is cute.

Last is the chick that we are guessing is the boy. Lee is now in agreement with me that he thinks that this chick might be the boy. I will be mad after all this time he turns out to be a girl.

    You can’t call them “chicks” much longer ~ they are so big!! You are motivating us to want chickens!

    Good question, I had been thinking about that when I wrote up the post. So when does a chick become a chicken…..?
