just a few weeks older..

growing up too quickly.

on the run.

these little guys practically look like miniature chickens now. no longer cute and fluffy, they have their feathers, and the chicken-walk down. i let them roam around outside of their shed-which they will be allowed to roam free as soon as they are big enough-for the first time today. they went crazy. imagine lots of little chickens flitting about, literally running while flapping their wings, hoping they'd somehow fly. did you know that chickens can fly? growing up, i had the misconception that they couldn't...but they're perching birds. crazy, eh?
p.s. they run like raptors from "jurassic park". (you didn't hear me say that...they'd be offended, i'm sure.)
