Rural Gardening: Chicks, 4 by Chillybean

Hey, there's a rooster in my bathroom! He was brought in because his comb was bleeding. We think the two roosters had a disagreement. Some styptic powder was put on it and he was taken back out to the flock after some photos were taken. No more fights that we know of.

The next picture is from a couple of months ago. They liked bunching up now and then.

And the last one... reverse order, I guess. This was when they were wee little things. They were in the box to keep them contained while the cage was being cleaned.

Keeping chickens contained... what a learning experience that has been. They still get out once in awhile but not too often any more. Once when the rest of the family was getting ready to leave, I ask one of the children if the fence will keep them in. "I am too old to be chasing chickens." "Oh, it's fine", says he. HA! I think half the flock got out that afternoon, but it was good exercise.

Oh, one last picture. Here's the coop. We're just waiting for the eggs to start coming.
