Once our little chickens got into the routine of sleeping in their chicken coop (rather than under it), we opened the lower door and let them out to explore their yard.

| Our possible rooster is looking more roosterish. His comb is the most pronounced of all the chicks, he's bigger, his legs are thicker, and he has hints of curled tail feathers. |
Typically, chickens start laying eggs around 5 months old. So hopefully in September I'll have our first pullet eggs to who you.

I may have told this story before. Once a local preacher came to help us with chicken butchering. I saw him spreading the legs of several chickens. He was looking to see if they were boys or girls he said.
LOL! I don't remember that one Ed, thanks for sharing.
What a great place for them to explore! Chooks are smarter than people give them credit for. They somehow get it figured out, even though they are just babies. Enjoy your lovely flock!
Daisy, they are pretty smart for chickens. :)
This makes me happy. Thanks for sharing, Leigh!
TB, we can use all the happy thoughts we can get!
