Growing Chicks

I had no idea how fast chicks grow!!  Here are some new pictures that I took (counting from the day we purchased them).

1 Day Old:  This is the day we purchased them.

4 Days Old:  They are shedding the soft feathers and the adult feathers are starting to show on their wings.

7 Days Old:  They are getting really tall and more feathers are exposed.  They are also running and flapping their wings.

16 Days Old:  Lots  more feathers and their feet are huge. They can fly a lot higher.

    Oh man that's not good!! We are making a very secure coop for them and we will be building it soon. We will post all the instructions when we start building it.

    We got Rhode Island Reds.
