Adventures in ....Chickens?

I have to admit, I haven't checked on these creatures much since we have had them. They live in the shed until they are big enough to go outdoors and Madison takes care of them each morning and night. When we got them 4 weeks ago they were cute little things. It is amazing how fast they grow.

So yesterday I decided to check on them myself and see how big they are. Man are they ugly. Not only that, they are dirty creatures, they mess everywhere. Luckily they are almost big enough for the outdoors.

They are Barred Rock chickens, with black and white stripes. These are just starting to get their stripes. Today Madison came in and told us that 2 of them had escaped and were running around the shed. The girls went out and finally got them back in. Hopefully they stay in for a little while longer.
