The young chickens are getting to the age where they aren't growing as quickly, or at least in pictures you can't tell easily. But we still need to build them a bigger box before moving them outside with the adults. I put them in the FUV (fluffy utility vehicle), and let the others take a look at them, and I don't think it's going to be an easy transition.
outside in the FUV
There they are, doing their thing. It is so much fun to watch the young ones jumping and running around chasing flies and being startled by robins. No matter how many 'yearbook' style pictures I take of them, these natural shots are always better. They're so cute.
In other news, we have wasps building a nest right next to where we go in and out of the house on the deck. I am looking for a way to move them safely to another part of the garden where they'll be less likely to freak out and sting us.

Back to the birds... Sugar developed a limp a couple days ago and I'm a little concerned. Every morning she seems fine, and then by the end of the day she's screaming to be held. I can't find anything wrong with her though. As a consequence, her eggs seem to have thin shells right now. Hopefully with some healthy treats she will feel better and heal up.
I think that's about all that's going on in the back yard this week. Enjoy the weekend. It's going to be good weather here in Philly, so I plan to stop and smell the roses as much as possible to celebrate Mother's Day!
