We have brought the chicken coop out, and the big girls are in it and they LOVE IT!
We built a run out of hardware cloth that connects to the coop and it works really well. We would have the babies out too, but... well here's the story of why we DID NOT put the little ones with the big ones: we put the babies out just on the grass next to the run and coop, so that they could see each other but still be safe, we did that about everyday for about 4 days and then we decided to try it and let the big girls out with the littles. Well sad to say they pecked them, like not to much but enough for me chicken mama to say "Okay that is enough!" So we are going to wait until they are eye to eye with the big ones and can peck back, yes it is kinda sad that our big nice chickens could be so mean.:( But they are just saying "hey this is my coop and my coop only!" And they'll get over it and go "oh maybe I should be nice and let you in the herd," it just takes time. :)
So here are some pictures of the chickens and the coop outside!
The big chickens outside pecking the ground and looking for worms! YUM!YUM!
Still out digging...
There is the coop! The big chickens have gotten SO big!!
Chickens by the coop!

Me talking to Lucy/Ricky.
( We still don't know what it is she/he hasn't crowed yet!
We are puzzled!)
Here are some pictures of the babies! They also have gotten so BIG. It is hard to believe that those tiny 3 day old fluff balls are now 7 weeks! Can you believe it!
Well here's some pictures of them outside. (Not with the big ones. :)
Big Bertha and Sybil looking at Lorsey. :)

It is so funny to watch the babies outside they think they are all that!
So funny!!!
Bertha and Ethel figuring stuff out. :)
Well I hope you all have a blessed day!
Blessings, Ruthie Lynn a.k.a Chicken mama. :)
