holy cow have my chicks grown fast – i am astounded at how big they've gotten in 1 week. they’re also getting less terrified of me and are actually starting to eat out of my hand…that’s definite progress from last week when they would run in terror every time i opened the door to the room they’re in.

at the rate they’re growing i think i’m going to end up with 10 chickens that could take down foghorn leghorn (fortunately for me i have the gorilla cage to hold them)!!
