The baby chicks are growing up fast. They are now almost 10 weeks old. The older chickens are still not joining in with them but they are now occupying both the run and the coop together. This seems to get better the older they get. I read recently that you should not add new chicks until they are about 8 weeks old. I will have to remember that next time and see if the transition goes better with all of them.
The chicks are starting to get friendly. They softly cluck at me when I am working around them and are curious to what I am doing. They also have learned that I am the "treat" lady and come running when they here me call. They have not started begging like the big ones yet for table scraps.
Chuck has finished the meat bird coop and run. This weekend we should be bringing over the rest of the chicks. They can finish off their days scratching for bugs, seeds and eating grass. It will be fun to watch their transition over the weekend.
