the chicks are growing up!
it's amazing how quickly they change...feathers appear out of nowhere and little bodies fatten up.
one of the buff orpingtons has quite the personality...she is an adventurer, the brave one of the crew.
i often find her perching on the bin or sitting on the floor outside of the bin.

we decided to name the girls after queens and princesses:
the light brahmas are diana and kate.
the dark brahmas are victoria and mary.
the orpingtons are elizabeth I and elizabeth II.
we have yet to distinguish which one gets which name...
although the adventurous orpington is definitely elizabeth II, reigning monarch of this chicken kingdom.
