Teenage Chicks

Well, I had to post a picture of the "ladies". This was a picture from 3 or 4 weeks ago. They are even bigger now, and enjoy nice warm days free ranging it out in the yard. At night they huddle together in their makeshift "coop". We have had one minor (kids took it to be way major) casualty. The neighbor's husky was snooping around early in the day. Later when the kids put the chickies to bed, they noticed one was missing. They frantically searched the neighborhood, and found poor Chicken Licken's head on Miss Husky's lawn. Spencer and Lindsey were so upset they had to put her in a box and bury her. They now have their BB guns loaded, and are anxiously awaiting the return of the big furry predator.
