The chickens are 10 weeks old this past Saturday. They are getting so big. We are hoping {fingers crossed}that we have all pullets (young hens/females) and no cockerels (roosters/young males). Raven, the black colored chicken, makes a certain noise very often and I am hoping that it isn't the signs of early crowing. We were told all of our chickens are females but you don't know for sure until later on. We are not allowed to have roosters in Parma Heights due to the noise factor. They are very noisy and come on, who wants to be woken up really early, especially on the weekends. Not me. But if it turns out we do have a rooster on our hands, its possible we are going to keep it until someone complains. Or we could get a no crow collar. Its kind of like a bark collar for dogs. I cannot make this up if I tried....

Feeding Daisy. She always hops up on your lap...their claws/nails are starting to hurt when they dig into your leg.
Our corn is finally growing. We only have one row of it this year. Last year we had a lot and the squirrels destroyed it. They loved it but we didn't even get to try it.
Yes, we are those crazy people who deocorate our chicken coop. We saw this sign at a garage sale and we had to have it. I love the baby chicks in the rearview mirror..lol
Daisy walking around the extra area Tim fenced in. We decided to give them a little more space outside of the run.
Raven snuck into the garden. The other chickens were jealous
In this picture, you can see that Raven's wattles are starting to grow (underneath her mouth). If you look towards the back of this picture, you can see the extra area Tim fenced in.
Sitting in the chicken coop can be really peaceful at times
