The chicks are 12 weeks old!

The chickens are 12 weeks old

and doing very well.

I have introduced some free choice grit to their diet.

And I have been feeding them a bit of chicken scratch each afternoon.

They l-o-v-e it!  And they eat it right out of my hand. :-)

Mark my words, I do believe Miss Loretta will be the first to lay an egg.

I have found her sitting comfortably in one of the nesting boxes several times during mid morning.
