Chick update

The chicks are turning into chickens.

I felt a little odd about raising them to eat until I thought of James Dean: Live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse.   No harm in a short life, I thought, so long as it was really great.  So I’ve been adding chicken toys to the coop. 

They have a stump to crow on, and a ramp to climb up.

They have a tunnel to walk through, and Sam just made them a swing to swing on. 

I’m all for environmental enrichment for the chickens, and they seem happy as can be.

    Such a sweet expression on Jesse’s face. She look protective of the chick on her back.
