Full Time Chickens......

So I am by all means a expert beginner when it comes to chicken care....I knew they needed food water bedding & heat....what I wasn't expecting was how fast they GROW! Along with all that growing is a lot of chicken poop &  noise! Wow change ONE thing and those babies really let you have it! I gave them a different waterer...got "yelled at" took the rocks out of the water, got "yelled at"....I can not win with these girls! LOL
I'm thinking the babies are between 2 & 4 weeks - - - yep I didn't ask at the store how old they were (although I'm not sure the guy that was helping me would have known anyways.....that's another story)  - - - so here we are, I've been a chicken momma for a little over a week now (10 days) my babies love me LOL they are just like my DD's they tell me when they don't like something I've done :p
In the following photos I was trying to get a good picture of each lil chick.....needless to say they weren't interested in being Chick Models (as you will see)....

 White baby  - more concerned with whats under the kennel :/ 

 Box full of 16 peeping babies....they are about to out grow their "clean up time" box :(

 One of my Rainbow Layers - this is her 2nd photo her fist one the flash scared her & she jumped (so cute to watch but didn't make for the greatest of pictures)

I'm watching the comb on this lil one...not sure if this is the rooster I picked from the Red Sex Links or not,  (this is the same one from the first picture) but I have 2 white ones I'm watching pretty closely - I really only want 1 Roo - Lil guy here has at least one black spot under a wing....he really didn't want me messing with him too much, he had things to see & stuff to talk about.

 Standing Tall Pretty Lil Lady

 Alright Fluffy Butt, turn around so I can see you

Better thank you  - doesn't she have pretty lines on her feathers!

 At least this lil Rainbow Layer isn't giving me the "butt"

 How bout the whole lot of ya come say hi again! (do you see Whities toes.....) 

 Am I a bad Chicken momma???? :( She/he walks just fine I'm just worried I caused the toes to curl :(

WAIT!!! Where'd you go!!! Seriously! What a bunch of PreMadonas!

The other white chicken I'm watching for Roo-ness
I did have some white chickens in with the Rainbow layers, but they SHOULD be all hens!

Pretty baby & yet ANOTHER fluffy butt! lol 

 This lil Rainbow Layer was half asleep....I got a few "talkings to" after the flash went off *oops*

 WAIT!!! I did have her set & then OFF she runs!

 There she is with her head in the feeder....speedy lil lady!

 Next one was the closest black Rainbow Layer - - She jetted off the second I put her on the floor....I tried to move her a few times & just gave up

This lil lady is a Rainbow layer - you can't tell from the picture but she's got 2 straight lines down her back between her feathers....She's really cute!

 Lots of pretty babies

 Is this how models eat when done with a shoot?

Looks like we have outgrown the LARGE dog kennel :(
I guess I know what part of my Saturday will include :(
Oh how fast they grow...

Happy days
Happy Chicks
Love,
