Big Chickens!


The chickens have grown quickly and we have determined that Lucky (yellow, born first) is probably a rooster. He is smaller in size, has a larger comb, and few tail feathers. We have determined that Cookie (brown, born second) is probably a hen. She is larger (as most females of most bird species are), has a tiny comb, and has quite large tail feathers. They have both grown great wing feathers and are now trying them out daily. Lucky surprised us last Friday when he flew up to perch on the edge of his box. He just sat there enjoying the view of Kindergarten while Cookie chirped loudly from below!
