Moving Day

The coop is finished; water is hung, food is loaded in the new feeder, the heat lamp is up and the bedding is down.  So, today is moving day for the chicks.  They will be 5 weeks with us as of tomorrow and have plenty of feathers.  The temperatures look good for the next week, so it is time.  We video'd (sp?) the move, but it doesn't play on this blog.  The chicks are definitely not so afraid of being handled as they were when little, and actually seem to like a little petting.  Pooping, eating, drinking and chest butting are definitely the daily activities.  Can't wait until egg laying is in progress!!!  It had been a cold rainy 4 days and I am so ready for spring and warmth.  I am done with sweaters and pants; I want shorts and short sleeved shirts!!!!!  We put in a few more plants today and moved a few yellow lillies to some bare spots - free is good!
