entering the dinosaur phase
At 3 weeks the chicks have lost there fuzz and they are starting to get their feathers. They are at the gangly stage with long legs and big feet and sparse feathers...aka dinosaur chicks. They are all starting to show the colors and markings of adulthood. The buffs are getting some of the rust colored feathers, Spot is getting her barred black and white feathering and hen maddox hen is getting her speckles. They began roosting this week so I added another perch. I also noticed their combs are starting to show. They are curious about what we are doing when we look in on them and they cock their heads to one side and look up at us with one eye. Of course, when I am there I usually refill their feeder so all the more reason for them to be curious.
