“The Weekly Bleat: Growing, Growing!”
Our newest additions to Green Hill Farm are getting BIG! It’s amazing how quickly these chicks are growing. I think they’ve doubled in size in two short weeks. They’ve already started developing wings as well as demonstrating various chicken behaviors–like scratching for food. I just love these darling, fluff balls and thought I’d share some recent photos with you. Hope you enjoy!

I know what you mean! If only they would stay this cute and sweet. Alas, I would have adorable chickens but no eggs. 😉

Just a fun little nerdy fact… Did you know at one point a few years back scientist tried to reverse engineer a chicken embryo into a T-Rex? They were able to develop teeth and extra tail bones.

Thanks, Monica! They all survived. 😊 We are meticulous with their care when they’re so fragile.
Sometimes it can happen despite best efforts.
