It was time to move the chicks… they’ve outgrown their little pen in the wood shed! Since I also still have my older chickens, I moved the young ones out to the milking shed, and avoided any conflict between the two ages.
I had help today…
Aren’t the Barred Rocks BIG?
The were very funny as we wheeled them along. I assumed they’d panic, they hunkered down instead…
Lots of room in here… come on out, girls!
Quinlan just would walk up to a chick, and pet it, and pick it up. They were pretty agreeable for not being handled very much. I still have 19, and at one point, Quinlan asked what their names were, and I told him they didn’t have names. He rattled off a list of singsong words, Pick, Pock, Peck, Jet, Jip, plus more… pointing to each one in turn. So… they have names. (not that I can remember them, even now)
What more could they want?
Those chicks have gotten so big.. Seeing the kids with them is adorable.
I love the name selections:)
Thanks again for sharing…..
Those chicks have really grown. They had a fun ride today to a nice new home. Nice to have those little helpers along the way.
You could call Quinlan the “Chicken Whisperer” since he seem to have a rapport with them. Do you suppose he will remember all the names?
I love the first picture with all the helpers, 2 and 4 legged.
Great post.
What could be cuter than kids and chicks/chickens?! 🙂
WOW!! They’re huge compared to the others!!!
