I took the chicks out today and let them play in the lawn and go up to the chicken yard. Liza was so interested in coming out (I thought because of the chicks but really because she wanted to come out and eat bugs), so I let her out, too (Carole was in the nest box pouting and not laying an egg).
Some pictures:
Janis in the grass. She seemed to want to be separate from the others more than I would have expected.
Liza getting agitated at the chicks (actually, just Liza getting agitated about wanting to come out)
Dolly (left) and Elvira (right) with Cornpuff and Spot in the background. Yes, I believe the name for the chick with the widow's peak will be Elvira. My grandmother Elvira has been gone for long enough now that I don't have to feel guilty.
Dot dashing:
Liza has a close encounter with a chick (that's Spot) and is mostly just confused about what it might be:
Goldie was mostly just lying in the sun ignoring the chicks. Dolly felt that was reason to go check out what she was.
Elvira pokes her head into a picture of Cornpuff at the last second:
"WTF is that?"
"I don't know but its breath smells terrible."
Everybody was very interested in the chicken yard:
But mostly they were all interested in scratching and pecking at the ground for stuff to eat.
I get the feeling Elvira is going to be quite the photo-chick. She seemed to stop and stare at the camera as soon as I took it out.
