WINGS & TAILS

The chicks are doing well.

Chicks change dramatically over the first couple of months, and I’ve learned it is an exercise in futility to name them at this young age. Apparently, I can’t help myself though. So, their “temporary placeholders” (applied in general, not individually) are: Chickie, Cheep, Chica, Strip, and Stripe.

Though they are still balls of fluff for the most part, they are already starting to develop …

Wings

and,

itty bitty

Tails!

They are still in their cute phase and, since I didn’t get my sense of smell back after Covid, if their brooder stinks, I can’t tell, and it doesn’t bother me!
