I have been traveling for three weeks. Upon my return at the end of this past week, I found that my young chicks had grown up. They were in their outdoor pen. They had learned to go to bed at night and now looked like full-grown chickens. While it doesn’t equate to the joy of a parent as his son/daughter goes off to college, there is a little pride in watching my winged children move towards adulthood.

How did they get so big, so fast? I was looking forward to some more escape stories! Are they laying eggs yet?
It is amazing how fast they grow, but it is still another 3 or so months until there will be eggs.
As far as escape stories, since the person who caused the escape was away on business for 3 weeks, the chicks were kept safely in their pen. We’ll see what happens now that he has returned. . .
Yes… it is very true… I let one escape and it was only the diligent work of Michele that saved the escapee.
